Nintendo has kept quiet about the device’s accessibility options, even though it’s off to a good start.

Switch controllers and Joy-Cons are usable on the Switch 2 , and the ability to default to the original Pro Controller is welcome.

Accessibility features, however, are not available during setup.

US English is 120130 words per minute on average, but US English reads at around 60% .

Text-to-speech works across all system-level menus, but not on the Nintendo eShop .

Nintendo ’s shift to greater accessibility is welcome, but in restricting the flow of information before release, the win is tempered somewhat by Nintendo 's willingness to keep its players in the dark.

Mario Kart World does not include any remapping options.
