Importantly, this accessibility data is also available for many previously released Switch games, big and small (as well as certain previous-gen titles). Go to the game pages for Tears of the Kingdom or Townscaper, for example, and you’ll find accessibility data displayed along with links to more in-depth analysis at Family Gaming Database websiteincluding their full accessibility report.
You can also click on individual accessibility features — for example ‘Play without hearing’ — to display other games in our database that have this support.
I want to hear what the honchos had to say official press release? Of course you are:
“This is an exciting time for the database,” said Andy Robertson, founder of the Family Gaming Database. “Not only are we getting this important information in front of readers of Nintendo Life and other Hookshot websites, but their support means we can further invest and expand our coverage of accessibility data. This partnership proves the value and ease of incorporating this data into editorial pages, and I fully expect this to be the first of many partnerships.”
“We wanted to provide accessibility information for our readers,” said Anthony Dickens, founder and CEO of Hookshot Media, “but do more than simply list the settings the game offers. Partnering with Family Gaming Database allows us to highlight games that offer well-designed accessibility that makes a real difference to players. We also link to their full accessibility report for the full picture.”
This is something we have been researching for a long time and we are very happy that this has come to fruition. Over time the database will continue to grow and we hope that the information we provide here will be useful to all readers, on Nintendo Life and our wider family across the Hookshot network.
As always, let us know your thoughts and suggestions below.
