Perhaps one of the more unexpected announcements to arrive out of the Nintendo Switch Direct is that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have a camera peripheral to supplement the console’s new group chat feature. While the Switch 2 will be compatible with third-party USB-C webcams, the peripheral manufacturers at Hori are already producing their own adorable version of a camera for the Switch 2 modeled after the Piranha Plant.
Specifics surrounding the carnivorous camera are a bit slim. It isn’t currently advertised on the manufacturer’s website, and it has only been spotted in the wild at European retailer Mediamarkt, which has the product listed for around $44, about $6 cheaper than the first-party model advertised by Nintendo. It appears that the stem will be detachable from the base and is flexible, to ensure you have the best possible angle. However, the coolest feature is that its mouth can be closed as a privacy shutter for the camera when not in use. Nintendo’s official camera for the Switch 2 has a similar feature, but I’m glad we’re already starting to see weird peripherals for the new console taking root.
