@DanijoEX None in my experience. I thought I read somewhere Ring Fit Adventure has something but I haven't looked into it.
@steely_pete I bought the 8bitdo lite SE which was designed in mind for disable folks. It is by far the hardest controller for me to use due its tiny size. Plus, I mentioned why 3rd party controllers aren't great in the article.
@eltomo Finding out how to do things that you shouldn't be able to do always feels great! But in this case, it shouldn't have been this difficult.
@ComfyAko I wrote this article because games on this level, like God of War, do include features like I described.
@Cashews I appreciate that! That was over a year’s worth of growth I lopped off.
@Ryu_Niiyama Developers don’t need to worry about how a user remaps controls and all they need to do is consult disabled folks so they can pitch ideas.
@graviton What you said about the joycons is true but having individual buttons for the D-pad is actually an unintentional accessibility feature.
@Edu23XWiiU Just because I can play it doesn’t mean Nintendo shouldn’t try to do better. Plus shooters are far harder to make accessible than action adventure games so your point is objectively wrong.
@RubyCarbuncle I’m enjoying it alright. It’s just the combat and Ultrahand giving me actual problems.
@Kimyonaakuma This is going to sound harsh but you obviously don’t know any disabled people. I’m well aware of the challenges that come with it. That doesn’t change the fact the Nintendo should match the effort of its peers.
@Whyita I was exaggerating to make a point. I loved the template of A Link to the Past but it had grown stale.
@zgillet Nope as I usually have more success repurposing regular products than using something designed for disabled people.
@SwitchForce Nintendo is behind Sony and Microsoft. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. They all have work to do though.
@Lake999 You might want to read an entire article before commenting.
@Astral-Grain There might be more pieces like this but since no Nintendo games have accessibility features, they’d all be pretty much the same.
@Moistnado Because I love Nintendo video games and I can use the Switch and 2DS while it’s on my lap.
@HeftyLaces Microsoft and Sony wouldn’t be making their products more accessible if it did not benefit their bottomline.
@CashMadness If Fire Emblem isn’t ruined by casual mode than Dark Souls would survive with any easy mode. And no, I wouldn’t use if it was there.
@MagnesG No one is arguing for dumbing down regular gameplay. The only people that think that have terrible reading comprehension.
Thank you Nintendo Life for letting me write this article! Comment section is actually better than what I thought it would be. I'm supposed to be working right now but if anyone wants to try contacting me, feel free to tag me or finding me on the twitter Hellscape @HilliardHendrix.

@HeadPirate I considered bringing this up but this article convinced me not to: https://www.wired.com/story/japan-game-studios-accessibility/ Also, I have more than enough help and have too much pride to have someone play a game for me.
