Wii U Gamepad and Nabbit (from New super mario bros U) Helped Nearly Blind Girl play her First Video Game




A nearly blind girl plays her first video game due to the Wii U and it’s bevy of control schemes.

People complain and argue that the GamePad is an unnecessary accessory on a system that is failing to launch fast enough.  They complained that the Wii Remote was too simple and could not allow for “proper” gaming.  Yet here I sit able to say that the Nintendo Wii U…with it’s GamePad and ability to use the Wii’s Remotes has led to me playing a game with my daughter directly for the first time. Where at night when my wife goes to work at the hospital me and the boys could join into a 3 player game while my daughter would watch a movie finally have a 4th player.  We are together and my daughter has broken another “she can’t”.

This was the last part of the article, but feel free to read the rest:http://www.zenspath.com/home/2013/8/26/the-gamepad-helped-my-daughter-play-her-first-game-and-shes.html


I absolutely love this story, I’m glad this girl got the opportunity to play the video games we all take for granted sometimes.
