Importantly, this accessibility data is also available for many previously-released Switch games both large and small (and certain previous-generation titles, too). Head to the game pages for Tears of the Kingdom or Townscaper, for example, and you'll find the accessibility data displayed along with links to more in-depth analysis on the Family Gaming Database website, including their full accessibility report.
You can also click on individual accessibility features — 'Play Without Hearing', for example — to display other games in our database that have this support.
Want to hear what the honchos had to say in the official press release? Of course you do:
“This is an exciting moment for the database,” said Andy Robertson, founder of Family Gaming Database. “Not only do we get to get this important information in front of readers of Nintendo Life and other Hookshot websites, but their support means we can further invest and expand our coverage of accessibility data. This partnership proves the value and ease of including this data on editorial sites and I fully expect this is the first of many partnerships.”
“We wanted to provide accessibility information for our readers,” said Anthony Dickens, Founder & CEO of Hookshot Media, “but do more than simply listing the settings a game offers. The partnership with Family Gaming Database enables us to highlight games that offer well-designed accessibility that makes a real difference to players. We also link to their full accessibility report for the full picture.”
This is something we've been investigating for a long time now, and we're very happy to see this come to fruition. Over time, the database will grow further and we hope the information we're surfacing here will be useful to all readers, on Nintendo Life and for our wider family across the Hookshot network.
As always, let us know your thoughts and suggestions below.
