Back at @theverge.com to point out that, cool as the suite of accessibility options in Kirby Air Riders is, suggestions floating around that this might be a turning point for Nintendo on accessibility are not only premature but ignore the weight of recent history – which is significant.
Kirby Air Riders’ impressive accessibility features are a rarity for Nintendo

Devs: Accessibility should be discussed when you're planning the game. Not as an afterthought two patches after you release the product. Disabled peoples collectively have roughly $21B in discretionary spending a year, but if you want to ignore that market, that's your loss!

There's a scene in the movie Hidden Figures (2016) in which the character Katherine explains to her boss why it takes her half an hour to use a bathroom facility, because she has to walk across the NASA campus to reach one that she's allowed to use.
