To: Mr. D3Publisher
From: 256 million-trillion concerned fans!!!
It has come to my attention that, you, Mr. D3Publisher, president of D3Publisher, have decided to publish two video games in the United States: Naruto: Wrath of the Ninja and Naruto: Wrath of the Ninja 2. I am here representing gamers across the country, and I act for all of them as I kneel down and wash your feet with the most heartfelt gratitude and respect. However, as an avid gamer and chairman for all game consumers in this great country (let freedom ring, amirite?), I feel it is my most esteemed responsibility to notify you that you could be barrel-rolling down an unstoppable path towards remorse and unforgivable self-loathing. I cannot save you, Mr. D3Publisher, only you can do this; I am here, however, to help. There is something I feel – that all gamers feel – you need to do. There are two more games that need to be published in the US. Deep down you know what I'm talking about, Mr. D3Publisher- Wrath of the Ninja 3 and Wrath of the Ninja 4.
Of course, one cannot be expected to immediately rock the entire Western industry with such a bold move by a simple suggestion. There needs to be proof. There needs to be evidence that this is, in fact, the right move. I have provided here all the evidence you'll need. I have provided data, hard statistics that show that this is the correct decision. After all, facts are all indisputable- they're the only thing that can show you the way. Did you know that in a recent poll it was proven that 83.5% of all Americans will believe any made up statistic as long as it is said in a convincing manner? Shocking, to say the least.
If you're on the fence about this monumental decision of biblical proportions, read further, and soon you will see the light.
1. The anime series Naruto is quickly becoming the next DragonBall Z, and this is precisely the right time to start saturating the market with merchandise.
I have provided with this message a graph (article 1) that proves that Naruto is really making a name for itself as a new anime. Along with this I have provided a second graph (article 2) that shows the same data for DragonBall Z, the most popular and by far the most lucrative anime to sweep the western hemisphere. As you can see by comparing these two articles, the level of popularity at which video games need to be released is upon us, clearly labeled as "CRITICAL MASS" on the charts. You can also see that Naruto is exactly two fighting game sequels behind DragonBall Z at this point in its life. To be frank, this is unacceptable, and you can never expect Naruto to ever each DBZ's popularity without the same number of games. This would also be a wise time to start manufacturing backpacks, key-rings, lanyards, coffee-mugs, mouse-pads, action-figures, hats, shirts, pants, undergarments, socks, shoes, and temporary tattoos.

2. Naruto: Wrath of the Ninja 1 and 2 are great, but 3 and 4 are by far the better of the games.
The first two titles in this series are spectacular games, but comparing them to the latter entries is like comparing CELDA to HALO 2. Just don't do it, you'll be caught with your pants around your ankles in a hurry. I have provided undeniable proof of this. I believe this set of photographs speaks for itself:

3. US nerds don't care about spoilers.
I understand your reservations about releasing these games here due to spoilers, after all these games do include characters that the US audience may not be aware of yet. However, I can provide proof that gamers living in the US simply do not care about spoilers. Take, for example, the Harry Potter franchise. Spoilers about the latest entry in the series of books spewed forth from all corners of the Internet- and who would spoil such a thing? Why, gamers of course! The gaming community is lax about spoilers to an unprecedented level. Need proof? I provide for you the following link (WARNING SPOILERS):

As you can see, fistworthy member RABicle bursts into the thread spouting off spoilers left and right. Following his post is an extreme disinterest that cannot be ignored.
Based on the evidence I have provided, I think the conclusion is obvious. There is no reason to deprive US gamers from these games. These are the best in the series, and this is the right time to announce your plans to localize them. Furthermore, US nerds don't care about spoilers, so feel free to release them before the anime catches up! No one will care!
Don't be a bumcloud, you know what you need to do.
