Hi, I'm intrigued you say that you all play these main stream games like mortal combat etc but I can't see how that would work?maybe its just because I've never considered trying to play a main stream game since I lost my sight but surely with no sight you wouldn't know where the other person is , for instance if they jumped over you wouldn't even know which side of you they are anymore? Again sorry if I've miss understood but if others with no sight have managed these types of games with success then I may give them a try myself.

There is a Wii game for the blind! I'm with Clement. I play a lot of te old SNES Mortal Kombat games and they're perfectly playable without sighted help. Granted that doesn't do any good if you're not into fighting games but it still proves my point. Besides, whhat I want to know is how these people got permission to develop games for the Wii since that couldn't have come cheaply.
