The accessibility features of the Nintendo Switch 2 were not mentioned during the April Nintendo Direct, but details were quickly provided on the console’s official website. Unlike the original Nintendo Switch which only offered the ability to rearrange system buttons, the Nintendo Switch 2 has a more extensive list of options under its dedicated “accessibility” menu within the settings section.
In this interface, you have the flexibility to customize your button layout, adjust text size, and emphasize text using bold font for better visibility. The Switch 2 offers an option to store button-mapping profiles and integrate them into a quick settings menu that appears when you press the home button. However, Nintendo didn’t demonstrate the number of configurations you can save per account.
In the following scene, the system alters its color scheme. The standard palette appears to be a white backdrop with black text, but you have options to switch to an “invert colors” mode for a dark background with light text and orange accents, or “grayscale.” Additionally, the accessibility features include a zoom function that becomes active when toggled. Once activated, you can double-tap the home button to focus on a specific area, and then navigate the enlarged screen using one of the Joy-Con control sticks.

The new Switch 2 comes equipped with four methods to make it more accessible, one of which allows for mono audio output. A text-to-speech feature will read out menus in the home and system settings, as well as cursor locations, and you can personalize the voices used. However, Nintendo has not yet confirmed whether any of their initial games like Donkey Kong Bananza will include text-to-speech support.
With the GameChat feature on Switch 2, the final two choices enable you to transform spoken words into written text or vice versa.
Over the past five years, Sony and Microsoft have introduced adaptable controllers designed for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. These devices offer customizable layouts and extra attachments, enabling individuals with conditions like cerebral palsy or quadriplegia, who might find it challenging to handle a conventional controller, to continue playing their favorite games. In contrast, Nintendo hasn’t unveiled a comparable controller for its platforms, and the accessibility roadmap for the upcoming Switch 2 console didn’t include any plans to address this aspect for the new device.
