Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility Well, I don't see a problem with that, since the Nintendo Switch got both, buttons and a touch screen. Although you won't be able to use the touchscreen when not in handheld mode, but its just the same as with any other PlayStation or

Re: nintendo switch accessibility Yeah, i like physical buttons, not touch screens, especially for typing and gaming. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/453632/#p453632 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility Yeah but the point is to get the switch accessible. After years of touchscreen gaming, it just doesn't quite compare to having physical buttons. A lot of sighted gamers also share this mindset. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/453629/#p4

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility Yeah, it can run Android, but guess what, as soon as Android is flushed onto it, you cannot run Switch games anymore. Thus, Talkback might be able to run, but it won't help you to navigate the actual Nintendo Switch OS, but a simple and plain An

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility For video games, there's a big difference between accessible, and playable. Playable means that if you can get someone to help you memorize the menus, read the submenus to you, but you can play it, just have to navigate the menus, it's playable.

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility 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 givin

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility @Simba: There was one big problem with that though. The icons could be manually dragged around by someone else, so if you shared a wii, the icons today might not be where they are tomorrow. However, there was apparently a way to use the left and right

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility 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

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility Well, accessibility in a game for me means that you can somehow play it without a sighted person being around you all of the time. It however can involve a sighted person teaching you to navigate the menu once, or using Seeing AI or something related to

Re: nintendo switch accessibility

Re: nintendo switch accessibility 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 s
