Re: [Audyssey] FINALLY! There is a Wii game for the blind!

[Clement Chou]

Lol at games not being accessible just because the menus are tough to figure 
out... all three of you are trying to make points and noone and listening. 
Let me just step in for a moment and say that in Michael's defense, 
mainstream games can be hard to get into, especially for people spoiled with 
self-voicing menus. Michael, to be fair, you should give the games that are 
indeed playable on the wii a chance, rather than just writing them off as 
not playable simply because you can't go through menus. And what exactly is 
wrong with memorization? It's attitudes like that, the lack of willingness 
for change that has kept audio games in a rut for so long and produced so 
many good but similar games. Personally, I think menus don't need to be 
voiced, at least, main menus shouldn't. In game menus are a different thing, 
but it should be good enough for people to read the documentation and get 
the main menu into their heads, and then work based from memory. Just my 
personal opinion though. One last note... Michael, if you find a game which 
is playable, or try out a game given on this list, odds are at least one of 
us might have knowledge of the menus or at least the important ones. And if 
not, if the game sounds interesting, one of the people with sighted 
assistance will get it, figure it out and post the results. This is why I 
almost exclusively play fighting games... other than the genre we can get 
into the most, I don't need any sighted assistance at all, figuring out 
menus is something I can do on my own, since, funnily enough, most fighting 
games have a similar main menu structure.
