Nintendo Switch and blind-accessibility
Hi,
Just ran into this interesting little post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch … h_for_two/
"Even though it's just me and my husband (who is totally blind), I bought 1-2 Switch because I figured it would be a little reminiscent of Wii Play or Wii Sports. When he got home from work at 7 I put the game in and asked him to play with me. I didn't expect to play for more than 15 minutes, but it was after 9 before we quit. We went through every game except for the ones that seem too sight-based (like the dancing ones and the treasure chest game). I was amazed at how accessible this game is for blind people. So many of the games require listening for a prompt to react (like Quick Draw) or feeling the rumble in the joy con to know when you've hit the mark (like in Safe Crack). Out of the 28 games he was able to play against me in 21 or 22 or of them, and he beat me most of the time. Even at ping pong! So it turns out, this was a worthy investment for me.
Edit: Thank you for all the kind comments. I wasn't sure if there would be a lot of ignorant responses, but it has been for the most part positive and heartfelt, so thank you for that! Also, I am aware my title should say 'My blind husband and I'. I do know proper grammar, I was just really excited to share and wasn't thinking."
