The popular Nintendo Switch game 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' has reached its pedestal, especially amid pandemic. Everyone loves to play and decorate their islands, with what they wanted to see or how they look. For disabled people, a rare item is available to be used in the game. A wheelchair!
Interestingly, this handicapped player made his wheelchair more awesome-- by looking it exactly like his. Here's how he did it.
There's a wheelchair on Animal Crossing?
The picture above is now trending on Reddit. The image was uploaded on Animal Crossing subreddit by Reddit user Dr. Bozzy Bee. According to his caption, the image above was his creation of a New Horizons customized wheelchair that was designed based on his own real-life wheelchair.
Interestingly, in March, Kotaku reports that a wheelchair item can be available on the game for people with disabilities. There are limited varieties of the wheelchair like colors blue, red plaid, green plaid, beige, and colorful. But, shockingly, this guy made his wheelchair look just like his.
He did not specifically state how he personalized his item, but fans of the game were still happy to look at his own-designed wheelchair.
The guy behind the picture
The man in the picture is named Sam Bosworth. According to his Instagram account, he is a disability advocate and activist and was diagnosed with kyphosis of the spine and chronic fatigue.
Bosworth told the Redditors on the platform that he decided to post the image of his personalized wheelchair in order "for other disabled folks that wanted to customize theirs, I hardly expected it to be on the front page, and posted my insta because I've spent the last year and a half of my life advocating for disability every single day and like educating people about disability."
He also seemed to be a huge fan of the game, based just on his t-shirt that says Nintendo. So far, the post already received over 40,000 upvotes and nearly 500 comments on the platform.
How to get a wheelchair on Animal Crossing
As reported via Gamepur, there are three easy ways for you to claim your own wheelchair item on the store.
First, buy a wheelchair straight from the store. Just go to the furniture section of the store and find the wheelchair item. Commonly, it costs 2,700 bells at Nook's Cranny.
Secondly, you can wait for the wheelchair item on a floating balloon present. Some players said that they receive a wheelchair through those floating balloons. Maybe you'll get lucky.
Thirdly, you can easily ask a friend for a set of a wheelchair. If you're lucky enough, you can even ask in the Nintendo Switch community for friend codes.
