One of the biggest surprises of the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal was its proposed accessibility. This was supported by a webpage dedicated to the Switch 2’s hardware accessibility. Yet I was pleasantly surprised at how breezy the Switch 2’s setup was. You can also toggle the ability to access this menu at any time from the Switch 2’s quick menu, accessed by holding Home. The Verge reached out multiple times for clarification on the Switch 2’s accessibility and for more information relating to the questions above, but Nintendo didn’t respond.
