Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a highly anticipated game that has garnered a significant fan base. With the planned release on newer platforms, many dedicated fans who still own the original Nintendo Switch, or Switch 1, are feeling left out. This petition is aimed at urging Nintendo to consider releasing the game on Switch 1, ensuring that no loyal fan is denied the opportunity to enjoy this exciting new addition to the Hyrule Warriors series.

The original Nintendo Switch has sold over 90 million units worldwide and continues to be the primary console for many. Considering the substantial user base, releasing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on Switch 1 would not only increase access to the game but also boost sales, benefiting both the company and its consumers. Moreover, supporting older hardware aligns with Nintendo's history of inclusivity and respect for their longstanding customers.

Many gamers might not have the financial means or the willingness to upgrade to a newer console just for one game. The availability of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on Switch 1 would show appreciation for these fans, many of whom have been loyal to Nintendo for decades. It would also demonstrate respect for economical gaming, providing high-quality entertainment on existing platforms.

It is common in the gaming industry to release titles across multiple generations of consoles. Nintendo has previously done this with several of its franchises, and still does (e.g., see Metroid Prime 4 which is set to be released on both Switch 1 and 2 consoles), ensuring that all fans have the opportunity to enjoy their creations regardless of their console preference. This precedent makes it reasonable and feasible to consider a Switch 1 release.

Please join us in requesting Nintendo to make Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment available on the original Nintendo Switch. By doing so, we can unite the entire fan community and share in the excitement of this new chapter together. Sign this petition to show your support and commitment to inclusivity in gaming.
