Paralyzed Animal Crossing player goes viral with unique setup that helps them play YouTube\/Biggys Lets PlaysAnimal Crossing New Horizons is one of the Nintendo Switch\u2019s biggest titles, thanks to its casual appeal and massive charm. Little do some players know, however, that it can be enjoyed by literally almost anyone \u2013 even those who are paralyzed. Gaming while paralyzed can be quite difficult, but there are gamers who have found a way to make it work. That said, it becomes increasingly challenging when you lack motor function in your hands. Luckily, a Redditor and YouTuber by the name \u2018Biggy\u2019 has found a solution that lets him play with both hands despite the aforementioned issues. Taking to Reddit, the user explained that he is paralyzed from the chest down, with \u201csignificant\u201d loss of motor function in both hands. But, thanks to an app, he\u2019s able to play the title with his hands. As you can see in the video, he\u2019s able to make use of the JoyCon Droid, an app that transforms a smartphone or other device into a JoyCon \u2013 or even Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. With this at his disposal, the player is able to catch a fish just like anyone else would in-game. \u201cThat app syncs via Bluetooth directly to the Switch console, meaning I can access all the intended functions of the game without the hassle of all the extra wires,\u201d Biggy explained in a YouTube video. \u201cI\u2019m able to enjoy the game fully thanks to it.\u201d Many Redditors were impressed by the setup. The post quickly went viral, amassing over 56,000 upvotes and a ton of awards on the site. \u201cNeat! I have a genetic condition that\u2019s gradually affecting my right hand, it\u2019s nice to know nothing will take ac from me. Although that means I have no excuse for abandoning the seagull,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cIt makes me exceptionally happy when I see things like this. Life is really hard, and it just makes me emotional getting to see someone enjoy something that so many people take for granted, and that they might not have gotten to do otherwise,\u201d another chimed in. Hopefully, this video inspires more people to start gaming regardless of issues they may be facing physically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
