Much as I would like to support accessibility, I couldn’t personally sign
that petition. I also think it’s just a way for them to collect data on
us, but my main issue is that games are graphical for a reason.
Individual game makers might be able to create some accessible content for
a console, but to expect the console itself to be accessible, for a gaming
console, I think is a stretch. There are some things as blind people that
we just aren’t going to be able to do, and I’m fine with that. I’m not
going to ride a motor cycle, or ski the back country, or sail around the
world. And yes, I am aware that some blind people have tried all of those
things.

I am starting this petition to encourage Nintendo to make the 3DS handheld
game console usable by people who are blind. As a blind gamer myself, I
experience first-hand the feeling of segregation that the lack of
accessibility brings. The 3DS console has many online features that
sighted people can either use or disregard at their leisure. For blind
people, it is a different matter entirely. I couldn't even set up my
console without the assistance of a sighted friend. The utter lack of
access means that I cannot use the Nintendo EShop to download or purchase
content, nor can I access the multitude of other online services that
other 3DS owners enjoy without a second thought. Why should I be cut off
from being able to access about 80% of what the 3DS has to offer, just
because I cannot see?
I am able to use an iPhone, Mac and Windows PCs of all sorts, Google's
Android devices, and even Amazon's Kindle apps and hardware products as
effectively and easily as everyone else. Thus, I am of the belief that
Nintendo has no excuse not to make their console accessible to blind
people, and from a company who prides itself on the idea of "fun for all,"
it seems contradictory, unless blind people are excluded from "everyone."
From a business perspective, making the 3DS console accessible to the
blind means that you open up at least twelve million more potential
customers. Apple's Mac and iOS devices have enjoyed a significant boost in
sales, ever since the introduction of their VoiceOver screen reader and
Zoom screen magnification features. Blind people want to enjoy these
mainstream products equally as much as everyone else.
Please support this petition, and urge Nintendo to make good on their
word, and allow blind people to take part in the "fun for all." After all,
we are blind, and we deserve to play too.
