SAVE $20: As of August 1, get the Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 for $39.99, down from its usual price of $59.99. That's a discount of 33% and its lowest price yet.


If you spend a lot of time on your Nintendo Switch 2 talking to your friends in GameChat, you might want to also add a way for them to see your face. Not everyone wants to be on camera all day long (especially for work), but it can add some fun to hangouts with your buddies, and it can also enhance some of your Switch 2 games. But if you don't want to buy or feel like the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is for you, you've got an alternative: a Piranha Plant-shaped camera that's a lot more fun. And it's gone down to its lowest price yet.

As of August 1, get the Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 for $39.99, down from its usual price of $59.99. That's $20 off and a discount of 33%. It's also the lowest price we've seen.

This USB-C camera connects straight to your Switch 2 and is compatible with your system whether you use TV mode, tabletop mode, or portable mode. It enables video chat via GameChat, and it lets you use the camera-based features in all the games that the Switch 2 supports. For example, Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV comes with a special mode built around using your face in-game as you compete on a special game show.

You'll need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership to use GameChat, however, so keep that in mind when purchasing the camera. And if you're not really interested in using it too much beyond game additions, you won't need the membership. And don't be shy about buying it just so you have an excuse to have a miniature Piranha Plant in your house. Absolutely no one is going to fault you for that.
