So technically, a game like Bokura no Dabiouken is not accessible because
you obviously have to learn the menus if you are not a Japanese speaker.
Also, the story line is completely absent for someone who speaks any
language other than Japanese. Yes, there is an English patch, however it is
just that, a patch... and does not translate the game fully. Does this mean
that is not accessible? I don't mean to be antagonistic, I just feel that
this is quite an interesting discussion to have. One can take a fighting
game and learn the menus quite quickly, there is no need to write them down
if you can menorize even the simplest of structures. And lastly, what big
mainstream game developers has ever been known to be reasonable on the
accessibility front of things? lol Especially Capcom. Though, Street fighter
x tekken will have the character names announced as you scroll over the
character selection screen, so you know who you are picking instead of
finding out who you picked.

Hi Dan, fair enough.
perhaps though in this case, using the word "accessible" isn't
appropriate, say rather such games are playable with not too great an
effort.
Beware the grue!
