Dude! I had been playing Pokémon scarlet, and I am legally blind. My wife was having to help me find stuff in the game and I was really missing out on the full gaming of experience. Don’t get me wrong. I completely appreciate that she took the time to help me play my game, I didn’t know about this feature until I saw this video today and I was actually able to get some stuff done without her having to sit over that consul forever and help me find stuff. You help my wife get some rest and you help me to be able to play Again.

This is actually really helpful! I’m legally blind so I do need those few accessibility features you mentioned. I’m about to dive head first into Switch gaming because I feel like a lot of the games I hear people talk about are right up my alley. I’m mainly a desktop PC and phone gamer but I’ve dipped my toes into Xbox gaming when my brothers are willing to let me use their systems. Lol

I’m so glad someone made this video, I was an hardcore gamer until I lost most of my sight and missed this so much. While I can play as I did or for the length of time as I did previously. Using this setting I can enjoy most of my games again

I have RP, so thank you for your work James! I play Fortnite a lot, what would level the playing field for me I think, is a glowing outline on my opponents so i can actually see them and keep track of them during a fight. It’s comforting to know you are out there, I’ve been to hell and back trying to find acceptance once my vision went south. 🤝

I've found playing Fortnite on Switch to be the best experience but primarily due to the limited hardware. Everyone has a disadvantage as visually with the graphics, render distance, and frame rate. If I play on PS5/PC it's no fair for me haha.

Me too! They've played around with synthesized voices in multiple languages with games like Miitomo and Tomogachi Life or however rit's spelled (lol) but yeah they could repurposed that experience and tech for accessibility easily.

Woww thank you!! I have low vision and use the 27inch monitor. I bought a pc because of the using to see everything bigger rather than a laptop or a handheld gaming alternative. I use my phone's magnification app all the time. I have razer kishi where I played games via geforce now from my phone just because I have the magnifier to zoom in in games. I didnt know that switch also have magnifier. Does the screen make your eyes tired after a while? Do you recommend switch for a low vision person?

Hello Have you tried to contact Nintendo? I don't understand that you can't change the text size in the game like you can on the PS5... Very hard to read Zelda's text for exemple. I'm sad when I remember when I played on my NES, the resolution was low, so the text had to be big...

Nintendo Switch has a built in Zoom feature that is good for reading dialogue or when you can have your player sit idle for a moment and zoom + scan the screen. Not the best when there is real-time action. If you got a Switch I would get one that can dock to the TV so anything but the Lite model. I play 99% in dock mode with the large screen. Most first party Nintendo games are visually accessible by design with large text (not all). Mario Kart, Super Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Splatoon, Kirby, etc. are all safe bets.
