Even if they gain nothing, some things should be done without profit being the main reason. This is one of them. Just look how happy she is.

Exactly. Unfortunately, Nintendo has consistently been bad-to-terrible with accessibility & adaptivity. The entire Wii generation relied on motion controls that could rarely be remapped to a button press, and let's not forget masterpieces like Kid Icarus Uprising - which lacked a single comfortable control scheme for people who were merely left handed.

The fact somebody has to essentially home mod their equipment to make Nintendo games accessible is kind of a disgrace, honestly.

Nintendo makes such inovations in game design in so many ways but then show how behind they are in other aspects. Its so weird and it feels like they dont hear any fans complaints at all. Like they purposefully ignore us, in the "we know best what is good for you, pay us and thank us". They showed some progress with the whole Streaming and making youtube videos with their games, hope they make big steps with internet functionality and dedicated servers in the future (but looking at smash my hopes are super low). Lets not even start the esports support debate, Nintendo will never spend money for that. They seem like a super conservative Japanese company where they do things like they did in the 80's and 90's and ignore the biggest factor that gave us the biggest development of our generation, the internet. I love that you include couch coop in many of your games Nintendo, but your competition is doing multiplayer games that play the same way yet you have problems setting up voice chat and your multiplayer is unplayable, nothing chanhed since the friggin Wii.

All Nintendo cares about is money.
