Summary

  • Gaming accessories maker Hori has launched a new, more functional camera accessory for Nintendo Switch 2, following the fun [Piranha Plant-inspired alternative](https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/23/23477050/hori-piranha-plant-camera-nintendo-switch-2- Privacy Guy-demo) it debuted last year.
  • Listed on Amazon Japan, the new GameChat-compatible camera stands just under two inches tall and weighs 30g, making it light enough to connect to the Switch 2’s top USB-C port without making the console feel unbalanced in handheld mode.
  • It can also be used standalone, sitting on a TV or on the included weighted base with a fold-down support, much like Nintendo’s own camera.
  • However, it is once again limited to a resolution of just 640 x 480, much lower than the 1080p capability of the Nintendo offering, which may impact video quality significantly when using GameChat.
