Our second podcast episode of 2025 features Laura Kate Dale, a video game journalist and advocate for accessibility in games. Laura and our team members discuss their ideas for how Nintendo can improve accessibility in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and their games generally. We also hear from Laura about a peripheral she co-created for the Joy-Con 2 with @theprintbed.bsky.social, a mouse grip that makes using the Joy-Con 2 in Mouse Mode easier. Laura also dishes on getting to play Beyond at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in London. Additionally, Amanda reads from the mailbag.
Podcast is hosted by Amanda, with team members Roy and Irene.
