Dear Nintendo of America Representative:
There have been rumors that have generally been accepted as fact about the removal of Navi Trackers from the Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventure. This comes as rather upsetting news to those in the know. The Zelda fans have spent years thinking we would never get to play what is now called Master Quest, and we don't want to do it again for Navi Trackers.
First, let me say how thankful we are to you, Nintendo of America, for deciding to bring over this Zelda game in the first place. We realize that with the game's relatively expensive requirements for the multiplayer gaming automatically make it a game for a type of niche market. We are also very thankful that that you blessed the Zelda fans with Master Quest and Collector's Edition. We would like to see the trend of generosity continue with Four Swords Adventure.
The main reason, as we understand it, is that the voice samples in the Japanese version of the game would be difficult to replicate for an English speaking country. To us, this seems like a bad reason to cut the entire game. Of course, we would like to see the game's advanced speech engine in all it's glory. It obviously took some work from the developers to create, and it would be a shame if America missed out on it. We certainly would love to see it reworked for American audiences.
Dilemmas like this happen all too often during the creation of video games. We know that due to time constraints, certain things must be cut from the games we love. It is a crying shame when games can't be completed. That is why I offer this solution to you. Simply delay it. The fans will understand when they realize that a third of the game would be cut out otherwise.
If this is too much to do, we believe there are other ways. The voices are not essential to the gameplay. Some people prefer to play with the sound off and a radio on, anyway. If the voices are removed, the actual game doesn't need to suffer much. If essential information is given through the voices, you could replace the voice with a text box. If you really want to do as little work as possible, you could leave the voices and names in Japanese and include a card to translate some phrases and kanas. Some gamers might even prefer this option. They'd learn about the Japanese language. Video gamers eat the Japanese culture up. They can't get enough of it.
The bottom line is that we don't care how you do it. Just please bring Navi Trackers to America somehow. As American gamers, we've seen so many excellent features, promos, special editions, and bonuses go to Japan, and forgive me for saying that we feel a little cheated. We see that you, Nintendo of America, have been trying to offer these things to us more lately that ever before. We appreciate these offerings, but it still doesn't quite compare to the unwavering e-Reader support, games always in their entirety, games that never see American homes, the countless special editions of GameBoyAdvances, GameBoy Advance SPs, and GameCubes, and more.
Please seriously consider what I have written here. It's my dream that one day, the entire world will be given all of the same video game privileges. Thank you for your time, and good luck with all of your future endeavors.
Speaking for video gamers across America,
YOUR NAME HERE
