Hey signatories!
Unfortunately, it seems like we won't have Rainbow Six: Siege on the Nintendo Switch anytime soon. According to an interview with Metro GC, a Switch version is not technically possible. Refer to the attached article.
Along with this sad revelation (which occurred 3 years ago), I have a confession to make to you all. This entire petition was intended to be satirical. I thought the YouTube video alone would have been enough to convey this, but alas. (Fun Fact: The YouTube video attached was partially the inspiration for this petition. Basically this idea that all games would be perfect for the Switch. Which they would be.) Even then, the content of the petition itself is occasionally nonsensical and downright silly. I'm genuinely surprised nobody realized, or at the very least, nobody pointed it out in the comments.
I also forgot about the letter that would be allegedly be emailed to Ubisoft and Nintendo once this petition gained signatures. It amused me when I saw it. I very much hope this is floating around in their inbox:
Dear [Ubisoft/Nintendo],
haha bet you thought this was an actual petition go fuck yourself kiddos
Sincerely,
Me
I also have to admit that I do not think Rainbow Six: Siege would be perfect for the Switch. While the Switch is capable of running some pretty hefty games, I still doubted the system's capability of running such a game. I am also sure that a Switch port would require a lot of tweaking and be more time/resource-consuming than some people would think. Theoretically, if the game could run on a Switch, I bet it would be alright but I do not see a Switch port as a necessity.
However, do not be discouraged. Just because I personally do not believe in this venture, it does not mean that you shouldn't either. Over time, this petition has become more yours than mine. That is still true. Perhaps enough signatures may be still able to draw the attention of some exec up the corporate ladder and maybe, just maybe, he'll pass it on to the big boys upstairs. This petition has also surprisingly earned $30 in contributions. That is absolutely insane to me.
Anyways, I leave this petition in your capable hands. If you believe in the cause:
Remember to sign the petition and bring us one step closer to getting Rainbow Six: Siege on the Switch!
