Knowing that most Nintendo games don't really have options to tweak the game like not even being able to turn the music off or rebind controls in game, so what options would you like to see weather it's basic thing that basically most pc games have, a easier mode or some accessibility options.

For me while I like that Mario Kart 8D has some accessibility options I wish the auto acceleration made it that the A or Y button toggles it on and off just so it could be used in battle mode

Also that Items had a toggle so you don't have to hold the button to drag a item for those that need it

For smash bros I wish their were option to make a single button short hop instead of what they did was pressing both jump buttons to do a short hop

Also to take smash attacks off of the attack button that if I do a smash input I do a tilt instead cause I can't get used to doing tilts on the other stick even after years of using it

Fully customizable control schemes. It's ridiculous that in our accessibility focused present state of gaming that you can't just swap around buttons on the switch. It should be in all Nintendo first party games and integrated at the system level

I feel like Nintendo has taken many steps back in this regard.

We used to see this more, even in their first- and second-party titles. What happened?

Yes, this; Luigi's Mansion didn't let you invert up and down and took me forever to complete, especially the water level boss fight.

100% agreed! I am one of the people who just can't play games without inverted camera controls. No matter how many hours I try to get used to it, it just never clicks (I've tried for years) so any game that has the "wrong" camera controls and won't let me change it, is a game that I am literally unable to enjoy. And I haven't found a way to check beforehand how the camera controls work (this is something that somehow never gets mentioned in reviews), so I have bought my fair share of games that I legit can't play.

Customizable camera controls would fix this issue immediatly, and it can't be that hard to implement this feature.

PS: I am aware that you can swap buttons on the Switch itself, but then the controls are inverted for EVERYTHING on the console, all games, the home menu, the eshop etc. and even that option doesn't let you change the "up/down" promts for the C-sticks.
