Peripheral manufacturer HORI will be selling a Piranha Plant themed Nintendo Switch 2 Camera at launch.
German retailer Media Markt has a listing for the camera and is selling it for €39.99. This is €20 cheaper than the €59.99 Nintendo is charging for its own Switch 2 camera.
The camera for the Switch 2 will be used for video chatting with other people via the GameChat feature, as well as for certain games like Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV.
GameChat will be free to use until March 31, 2026. Afterwards a Nintendo Switch Online subscription will be required.
Thanks, VideoGamesChronicle.

FYI... Nintendo confirmed on their website that NX2 will be compatible with some usb-c webcams and other cameras you may already have.
So you don't have to buy theirs to use the features ...
With that said, I'll take Piranha plant
Looks cool and much cheaper than the official camera. Nice
I honestly wasn’t sold on the camera, but I can get behind this
Nintendo definitely should have included the camera with the system to offset consumer apprehension at the enormous price increase for Switch 2. That said, this third party piranha plant camera looks amazing.
Pretty cool actually.
How many people are gonna buy this to just make it sing "Feed Me" from Little Shop of Horrors? XD
