As many other videogame fans have no doubt been doing in the last few days, I am writing in an effort to make you aware of the gaming community's interest in home ports of current and upcoming Atomiswave games. Due to the Atomiswave's similarity to the Sega Dreamcast console, ports of popular Atomiswave games like Dolphin Blue, The Rumble Fish, Guilty Gear X 1.5 or even Guilty Gear Isuka (although it is already headed to the Playstation 2) would not take as much effort as porting to other systems. Despite the Dreamcast's technical discontinuation, recent releases such as King Of Fighters 2002, Ikaruga, BorderDown, Psyvriar 2 and Puyo Puyo Fever prove not only that the console still has some life in it, but that there are many dedicated fans worldwide who are willing to purchase games released on the system. I implore you, along with the Dreamcast gaming community, to consider bringing us ports of some of the more popular Atomiswave games.
I realize also that the Dreamcast might not be as appealing from a market standpoint, despite it's current fanbase, on account of it's discontinuation. I also wanted to inform you that there is indeed interest in the gaming community in a home version of the Atomiswave system. With the NeoGeo hardware now discontinued, and home NeoGeo systems being far beyond the price range of the average consumer, the market is ripe for a company to step in and bring gaming back to its roots, away from the flashy 3d and fancy production preferred by the likes of Sony and Microsoft, and back to arcade experiences that worked well with but never relied completely on the graphics. With Sammy's aquisition of Sega, you have a seasoned console manufacturer under your wing, and with the proper marketing (decidedly Sega's stumbling block in the past) a new console could be the Neo Geo of the next generation (hopefully without the exorbitant price tag) and would be immensely appealing to retro gamers and new gamers alike who are looking for solid gameplay and an enjoyably experience.
I realize that my one voice is not nearly enough to sway a company of this size, but I hope I will be heard and taken into consideration, as well as any other videogame fans who write to you with these same ideas. There is a petition currently making the rounds in messageboards asking for Atomiswave ports for Dreamcast, and I am sure that when it is finally submitted you will see that there is indeed demand and a market for these kinds of ports.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and take my request into consideration.
Sincerely,
