- A streamer lets their fish play Pokemon on a regular basis.
- During an unattended stream, the fish buy credit, among other things.
- Nintendo refunded the credit after the fishy justification.
Apparently not only people can use the Nintendo Switch, as a streamer regularly shows on Twitch. Because mutekimaru_ch regularly lets his fighting fish play Pokémon.
The streamer has his bettas swim across a gridded mat while a camera monitors the fish’s movements and transmits them to the game.
However, during an unattended stream, the game crashed while the fish continued happily typing and getting into the Nintendo eShop.
Fish top up credit
The ornamental fish managed to buy credit worth 500 yen (about 3.54 euros). But the Bettas have caused even more chaos.
Fish cause even more chaos
Among other things, they downloaded the N64 emulator, bought a new avatar with the collected reward points and changed the Nintendo account name from “Mutekimaru” to “ROWAWAWAWA¥”, as Techspot reports.
After the streamer contacted Nintendo, mutekimaru_ch reportedly got the credit back on the grounds that his fish accidentally made the purchase.
This isn’t the first time wildlife has shown what they’re made of in video games. Because a streamer’s dog saved the Elden Ring character during the stream a while back.
