Hello, I'm a member of Arwing Landing. And I have recently resurected an old topic on a formal petition to Nintendo on Starfox 2 on the virtual console. Myself and an Arwing Landing Mod named "Cobalt Delta" are in charge of this thing so far. I will try and frequently post and update on this petition but as far writing it goes, I can not start untill I've seen enough people who are interested. I will be on other forums as well. It's not just me that needs you, not just Arwing Landing or any other Starfox related forum, it is the integrity and freedom of the Starfox series itself!
But on to business, here are the words from the original Arwing Ace that started this project and was unable to finish it:
A Revolution
My fellow pilots,
We have flown across crimson skies, battled against all odds, and pushed the envelope far beyond all frontiers. We have seen the rise and fall of many Nintendo Systems, and have crusaded against the endless evils pitted against Corneria for over 15 years. StarFox is not just a game we all have, but is a journey we all possess. We are not fans – we are those that feel the rush of the Arwing’s takeoff, that are awed at the stars’ majestic glare, and who’s chords of passion are struck perfectly when a formation of Arwings fly in triumphant glory over a safe, blue planet.
We are Arwing Landing.
We have seen it firsthand. Arwing Landing has followed an amazing pattern of growth since its conception, and many agree that Arwing Landing represents the largest, if not THE, StarFox community. With this comes a responsibility.
StarFox 2, as we all know, was a project that was cancelled moments before its release. Nintendo was likely acting to protect its own financial security, yet watching this event fade well over 12 years into the past has not at all affected our interest in this lost episode. In fact, who of us hasn’t yearned to see a completed console version of StarFox 2? This does not have to remain a dream, my friends, but can fast become reality.
Today, the Super Nintendo and its games have become relics of the past as new projects blaze across our new XBOX 360’s, Play Station III’s, and Nintendo Wii’s. And as new StarFox titles are released, the including of such classics games as bonus material is not only possible, but even fashionable; and we are eyewitnesses to an example of this with “StarFox: Assault†and “Xevious.â€
The same can be done with StarFox 2 as was Xevious, but this wont happen unless we make it happen. We, Arwing Landing, must FORMALLY PETITION NINTENDO to complete StarFox 2 and present it as bonus material in the next StarFox title. The reasons for doing this are endless: The technology is abundant, the resurrection of a once lost title is good for Nintendo, and best of all; it will answer THE PEOPLE!!! Nintendo prides itself for its response to its fans, and here is its opportunity.
We are no minority; we have enough voices to speak out to Nintendo about this. They WILL listen, if they are not impressed by our solid determination alone. We need to organize a formal petition, and then contact Nintendo through multiple means, i.e. mass E-mail, letter writing, even phone calls will show Nintendo that we seriously want to see StarFox 2 and its triumphant return.
WE CAN DO THIS
Now let's talk about the details and organize ourselves into a digital rally. No non-contributive posts, this is serious. I'm looking forward to seeing Miyu and Fay again.

Now my own words: The petition has not been rough drafted yet, but I feel in the next few weeks more will rally to this cause and we may have a case on our hands. I know this may sound strange to the Moderaters of this site, but I request that this become a Sticky as I feel many will become interested.
Here is the site of the original Petition thread:
http://arwinglanding.net/forum/index.php?topic=10551.0 I hope to hear from you all soon. And by all means drop me a PM or e-mail, I'll answer any and all questions.
