Correct. Nintendo Switch only has a zoom feature for low vision folks.

Yeah, there are accessible games, like mortal kombat, but the dashboard itself is not accessible.

Liam is right.

I know that on the 3DS, all the games and dashboard icons made auditory sounds (this is what The Fridge attempts to represent). Of course, that was when it was just a horizontal scrolling menu and cartridges were the norm. Although I've played on a switch before, I've never explored the dashboard, so my guess is that if it's moved beyond the simplistic view of the 3ds/DS, then it may or may not be usable. Accessible implies there would be speech or earcons that intentionally make the interface usable by people with disabilities. However, inaccessible interfaces can *can* be usable, I mean how do you think audio-rich mainstream games lacking speaking menus are playable anyway? Sure, they may not get database pages, but they're still playable until some further change down the road makes them accessible. Or some serious thought goes into accessibility (which reminds me, check out Sequence Storm y'all).
It's a shame that the Switch itself is not accessible though, because the one thing the Switch has going for it are separate joycons. So in a game like Sequence Storm you could vibrate just the left or just the right joycon if you wanted to, in order to make the realtime play mode accessible in Sequence Storm for instance.

Hi.

Remember the wii? it had a pointing only dashboard where you needed to point the wiimote at a certain icon to click it, no buttons to navigate the dashboard were there. And guess what? The thing was still accessible because the icons never changed position, the game was always at the top left and the controler made small vibrations and you heard a click sound when you pointed at an icon. So, it still worked.

Greetings Moritz.

You can use the plus/minus buttons on the Wii controller to navigate between those widgets. I often didn't navigate to the game the first time I'd go to play, but I was still able to get there using those buttons.
Accessibility to me is giving disabled people a way to fully interact with all components of a product, from setup to everyday use, no ifs, ands, or buts. If you require sighted assistance, it's not accessible, even if you only need that assistance once.

Hey, apparently switch can run android if hacked. Maybe someone can try running talkback on it.

I wish someone could try putting text to speech on a psp.

I'll just get an iPod touch and an iPad, because there are lots of games for iOS. And I hope that at least one of the dragon ball z games on iOS is accessible. iPhones are very expensive and I just want an iOS device mainly for games, notes, the bard app, and the apple tts voices and other stuff iOS does good at, like its braille display support, and ability to download movies and tv shows for offline playback. Because I buy all my tv shows and movies through apple I also want an iOS device to download and take some of them with when I go on a trip or vacation next year.

Yeah, i like physical buttons, not touch screens, especially for typing and gaming.
