EXACTLY what Laura is saying. This is HUGE for Nintendo! I hope they use this as a stepping stone and continue their accessibility journey in future first party games!!
I genuinely can't overstate how big a deal it is to see a first party Nintendo game feature a dedicated Accessibility menu like this, so well thought out, detailed in depth before game release.
There is literally no precident for this from Nintendo.
This is a huge leap forward.

Watching through the second Kirby Air Riders Nintendo Direct because I was told they discussed accessibility features during it.
First thing I have spotted, 40 ish mins in, there's a setting to slow down the speed of gameplay.

I’ve been trying to make this point for two years but every surge like this cumulatively erodes the healthcare system. Every time, more healthcare workers hit the limit where they’ve just had *enough*
Sigh: “After COVID hospitalizations climbed nearly 22% this week, the CDC is predicting further increases over the coming month as new variants spread. This replaces previous projections from the agency that admissions would "remain stable or have an uncertain trend."
Is masking coming back? As new COVID variants emerge, here's what experts say.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not announced new mask mandates, some experts say you may want to consider it, depending on your situation.
