Nintendo Outlines Switch Accessibility Features

Nintendo Switch 2's accessibility features were absent from the April Nintendo Direct, but the company posted a brief overview on the console's website soon after. While the original Switch's features went little further beyond the choice to change the system's button mapping, Switch 2 includes several options under a dedicated "accessibility" submenu in the settings section.

Here, you can change button mapping, but also increase or decrease text size and implement bold font to make text stand out. Switch 2 lets you save button-mapping presets and add the feature to the "quick settings" menu that opens when you hold the home button, though Nintendo didn't show how many configurations you can save to one account.

The next setting changes the system's display colors. The default color scheme seems to be a white background with black text, and you can choose "invert colors" for a black background with white text and orange highlights or "grayscale." The accessibility menu also includes a zoom toggle that, when active, lets you tap the home button twice to zoom in on a selected spot. You can then move the zoomed-in screen around with one of the Joy-Con control sticks.
