I like to know why there is a petition for it ? Does it's publisher have no plans to bring it to consoles !?

"Outside of these new titles, Kidooka freely admitted that he doesn't have any grand scheme for the next generation of consoles, cloud computing, or anything else, really, apart from making good games and staying in business. "People like Ishiwatari and [BlazBlue director Toshimichi] Mori have been doing what they want to do for the past 25 years," he said, "and Arc System Works has followed behind that work. So for me, all I have to do is set it up so they can continue to have a sort of free environment where they can do what they want. Also, everyone talks about the cloud and virtual online spaces these days, but I don't want to forget about the idea of people playing in the same place. We'll take advantage of online technology, but I want to continue making games that take advantage of the kind of communication that's always been there.""

I love this guy.
