Author’s Note:
Of the big three companies, Nintendo is the only one that doesn’t have some sort of regulation for the disabled public, which is odd considering its history with health accessories. Maybe that will change in the future, but for now, the Xbox Adaptive Controller is the only thing that can be used on the Switch.
