Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera Hits Lowest Price Ever
▼ Summary
– Two officially licensed Hori cameras for the Nintendo Switch 2 are on sale, with the Piranha Plant Camera at $32 and the compact USB Camera at $25.
– These Hori cameras have a modular design allowing use in docked, handheld, and tabletop modes, a feature not offered by the official Switch 2 camera.
– The official first-party Switch 2 camera, however, provides noticeably better video quality than the Hori models.
– The Switch 2 supports select third-party USB-C cameras, and includes a system setting to test compatibility.
– Additional officially licensed accessory deals are available, including controllers and carrying cases from brands like PowerA and RDS Industries.
Great deals are currently available for two officially licensed Hori cameras designed for the Nintendo Switch 2, with the charming Piranha Plant Camera hitting its lowest price ever at just $32. This represents a significant discount from its original cost and can be found at major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Meanwhile, Hori’s more compact USB Camera is also on sale for $25 through Woot, an Amazon-owned store.
A key advantage of these Hori models is their modular design, which provides flexibility for use in docked, handheld, or tabletop modes, a feature not available with Nintendo’s own first-party camera. It’s important to note, however, that the official Switch 2 Camera generally delivers superior video quality. For those exploring options, the console supports various third-party USB-C cameras, even some not specifically made for it. A handy “Test USB Camera” function in the system settings lets you verify compatibility with your existing device.
The savings extend beyond cameras to other licensed accessories. For instance, the recently launched Pokemon Eevee-themed Horipad Controller is discounted to $32, with a matching carrying pouch available for $24. Several travel cases are also on sale, including Hori’s Compact Carry All for $35.
Before purchasing a Hori case, consider popular alternatives from RDS Industries and PowerA, which are also officially licensed. The RDS Game Traveler Deluxe Full System Case is priced at $33.24, and a compact Mario Kart-themed case is just $20. For a slimmer profile, the PowerA Slim Case is available in two discounted designs at $15 each, including a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond edition.
Controller deals are available as well. The PowerA Advantage Wireless Controllers are now $64.87, while wired versions, which include a GameChat C button, start as low as $28.65 for Super Mario-themed designs. Although discounts on first-party Nintendo accessories are uncommon, you can currently save $5 on the Switch 2 Joy-Con Wheel Set.
