Gaming YouTuber in Japan claims pet fish took over Nintendo Switch, went on shopping spree
Fox News
A group of motion-captured pet fish allegedly took control of a Nintendo Switch after the Pokémon game the fish were connected to had crashed during a livestream in Japan.
On Monday, Jan. 16, the Mutekimaru Channel livestreamed a Pokémon gaming session with three fish swimming in a motion camera fish tank, which is said to be connected to a keyboard overlay and red laser pointer overlay that follows each fish’s movement. The motion capture system is reportedly hooked up to a Nintendo Switch – allowing the fish to "play." Cortney Moore is an associate lifestyle writer on the Lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
During the livestream, the Pokémon game appears to crash, but the fish’s continued swimming seemingly allowed the aquatic animals a chance to take over the game console’s settings, the video shows.
