The Switch 2 launches with four text and audio accessibility options, one of which toggles audio to monoaural output. Text-to-speech will read text from the home and system settings menu, along with cursor placements, and lets you customize reader voices. Nintendo didn't say whether any of its first-party games, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, will support text-to-speech.

The last two options let you convert voiced speech to text or written text to voice when using the Switch 2's GameChat feature.

In the last five years, Sony and Microsoft have released adaptive controllers for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. These accessories come with customizable layouts and additional attachments so players with, for example, cerebral palsy or quadriplegia who struggle to hold a traditional controller can still enjoy their games. Nintendo hasn't released a similar controller for its systems, and the Switch 2 accessibility overview made no mention of plans to do that for the new console.
