I can do everything you said, other than hitting what's left and knowing
what my final score is. But why would it matter... because I would only play
it when friends were around, and would know final scores regardless? Again,
I think it comes down to personal definitions of accessible... I am not
trying to provoke an argument, only to discuss. I don't deal with the wii as
much anymore, I find my ps3 much more accessible. And what is your
definition of usable feedback? My definition is the clicking of the system
as I move through the menus, and in the ps3's case, the fact that they don't
wrap. My definition of usable feedback when playing bowling is judging crowd
sounds, and when friends are around, what they tel me. So again, down to
personal perspective.

Could you come into a room, turn the unit on, choose a game without
hunting for it by trial and error, roll the first ball at the desired spot
by knowing your target instead of randomly throwing it, know what pins
remain (if any), use skill rather than guesswork to aim at them, and know
your score after the first frame is over? Could you tell me your final
score after the tenth frame had ended, all with no sighted help? If you
can play the bowling game with no sighted help at all, knowing everything
you need to in order to play the game completely through, then I would say
that it is accessible, and be interested. If you cannot, then the game is
not accessible. Console and game operation by guesswork does not, in any
way, equate to doing so using accurate and useable feedback. If you don't
get the feedback needed to operate and play the games, it's not
accessible. In a sense, it would be like operating your computer without
a screen reader if you are totally blind. You could conceivably do it by
guessing at your results as you type. You could go through the correct
motions such as typing what you need to, but did it work? Without the
necessary feedback, you don't know.

Exactly On our whiee when we had it I had the highest score on the
bowling on our console and no one could break it including sighted
people.
