Sorry you didn't think but you did bring up the topic.
So those that have this WII. The price is around $150 and it has 1
accessible game. Sounds high for just one game for the blind.
Don't think many of you will buy it, because you already gripe about
the prices of accessible games that are for the blind.
Looks like a double standard here with no ground to stand on.

Hi,
I'm intrigued you say that you all play these main stream games like mortal
combat etc but I can't see how that would work?maybe its just because I've
never considered trying to play a main stream game since I lost my sight but
surely with no sight you wouldn't know where the other person is , for
instance if they jumped over you wouldn't even know which side of you they
are anymore? Again sorry if I've miss understood but if others with no
sight have managed these types of games with success then I may give them a
try myself.

I'm with Clement. I play a lot of te old SNES Mortal Kombat games and
they're perfectly playable without sighted help. Granted that doesn't do any
good if you're not into fighting games but it still proves my point.
Besides, whhat I want to know is how these people got permission to develop
games for the Wii since that couldn't have come cheaply.
