Re: Feature: How Accessible Are Zelda, PokΓ©mon And Animal Crossing For Blind Gamers?

@Deviant-Dork Yo... Blindness, deafness, and verbal issues ( unable to speak properly) it's more often than not a varying degree of disability. It's not a binary either on or off type situation for most folks. I have one friend that is legally blind. She cannot drive, as she would probably hit curves and such too often, and it's unsafe, but she can recognize faces and people and see enough to get around by foot.

I have another friend that is partially deaf. She uses hearing aids and is only in her late twenties... She can converse with people just fine by phone and in person as long as there is not a lot of background noise, like a restaurant is practically impossible.

Myself I use the zoom function quite often as the game developers like to make text impossibly small. Never had this problem with old CRT games as they had to display stuff big enough, but now there is microscopic text in almost every game. Also when I play games like Hyrule warriors they need more map option sizes as the heads up map is just too darn small. Ugggg.

Also I really wish they would do screen readers and such more often.

Re: Switch Takes Japan's Entire Top 30 Software Chart, The First Console To Do So Since 1988

@SwitchForce I take a similar but slightly different stance on PS5 And XBOX X than you do...

I feel like they keep pushing shooters and epic story telling RPG and GTA / Cyberpunk style games. I don't see that as core gaming. But it may be these days.

Also, some developers of the games for the new systems waste resources on polygons in the butt cheeks and high fidelity cloth simulation and realism. But I just want fun games with good graphics.

Nintendo needs to add more Hardware SKUs. More special editions and the like.

I still want a switch Pro.

My Switch pro concept:

OLED switch with Thrice the ram, more / better / faster tegra cores and larger faster storage.

Second tegra SOC in the dock.
When Connected to TV, handheld SOC and Dock SOC share duties to output higher quality graphics. (Like a dual card PC)

Wow... I need to quit doing drugs... πŸ˜‚

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Players Report Language-Specific Glitch That Ruins The Final Boss

This is really odd. I wonder if this actually happens often where there is a game breaking bug or a major bug that only happens in one language option of a video game? It seems like in play testing that they would probably not play test the entire game rigorously in each language?

And I can't resist: lol
