The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great update overall, with accessibility that has improved across the board.
Mouse mode is innovative, but may be tricky to use. The screen reader is a welcome addition we'd love to see more widely supported on the system.

Light is visibility, but also weight in this fun platformer controller I made. The player controls which of the 3 light levels is active, and they influence how fast you move, how high you jump, and your weight!

When developing your game ensure every feature utilizes more than one sense! Taking damage? Show a health bar change, make a sound effect, give some red on screen, maybe even controller vibration!
Good game design is also good accessibility design!

A few months ago, I attempted an "Accessibility Challenge" trying to clear #DeepDungeon Solo w/ One Hand.
Spoiler: We beat all 3!
In this video, I'll explain why I did it.
One handed Gamers: You can still reach your goals like everyone else! #FFXIV
