It’s always great to see developers and companies get on board with accessibility options to make life easier for all players. So we’re very happy to see that there’s already a Nintendo Switch 2 accessibility page, showing the changes you can make on your console as it releases to assist you as you play. There’s going to be a whole accessibility section in the settings menu of the Switch 2, containing options for audio, visuals, and more. There are new options for text size, and you can bold it if you choose. You can now use text-to-speech - which also works in the GameChat - and mono audio settings to ensure you don’t miss any goings on while you're roaming Hyrule or zooming along in a Mario Kart World race. Along with this, there are some returning settings from the original Switch. The three display color options are back (greyscale, inverted colors, and regular), along with the ability to zoom the screen by double-tapping the home button. Including all of these accessibility features is a great step in the right direction, especially considering how important handheld gaming is to people with disabilities, so we’re really happy that Nintendo is taking this into account with the new console.
