The HORI Piranha Plant camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 , which is a discount of $20 and a record-low price. This is a great deal for those who own a Switch 2 and want to take advantage of the camera functionality in games like Mario Kart World and that .
This was designed specifically for Nintendo’s new console, so it’s a plug-and-play affair. It’s actually cheaper than the official Switch 2 camera with this sale and it looks a whole lot cooler. It’s a Piranha Plant from the Mario franchise. We called it a “work of art” and that holds true today.
This thing is not only stylish, resembling an Amiibo more than a camera, but it’s downright useful. The pot the Piranha Plant sits in functions as both a stand and USB extension for the device. The plant itself detaches from the pot, so the camera can be used in portable mode by popping it into the USB port at the top of the console.
There’s also a built-in privacy shutter. Just close the plant’s mouth to obscure the lens. The actual camera specs here aren’t going to win any awards, with a frame rate of 30FPS and a resolution of 640 x 480p. However, that’s more than enough to capture footage of your floating head to accompany your kart as it races through the Mushroom Kingdom.
