I'm a little bit in love with this Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera

If I wasn't already excited enough about the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, HORI has just released an adorable Piranha Plant version of the official Switch 2 Camera and I NEED IT. Not only is this camera design a lot more fun and vibrant than the boring black one from Nintendo, but the mouth can be closed and doubles as a privacy shutter for the camera, which is very handy.

The funny thing is, I had zero intention of actually buying a Nintendo Switch 2 camera with my Switch 2 console preorder, as most of my friends are PlayStation 5 gamers anyway. So I didn't feel that I'd need or use it. I probably still won't use the Nintendo Switch 2 camera in all honesty, but for only £34.99 / $44 I'm prepared to take that risk.

This third-party Nintendo Switch 2 camera from HORI is actually cheaper than Nintendo's own official offering (£49.99 / $49.99) and looks so much cooler.

I love that there's also the option to attach it directly to the Switch 2 if you need, instead of using its plant pot as a separate base.
