The HORI Piranha Plant camera for Switch 2 is 33 percent off right now

Even with the Switch 2 being so new, we’re already seeing some sweet deals pop up on accessories. And if you’re looking for something truly unique, the HORI Piranha Plant camera is currently on sale for just $40. That’s a fantastic $20 off its usual price and the lowest it’s ever been – a great chance to snag a charming peripheral that brings a touch of the Mushroom Kingdom to your gaming setup.

This isn’t just any camera; it’s tailor-made for Nintendo’s latest console, ensuring a smooth plug-and-play experience. What makes it even more appealing is that at this discounted price, it’s actually more affordable than the official Switch 2 camera. Plus, let’s be honest, it looks a whole lot cooler! Modeled after the iconic Piranha Plant from the Mario franchise, we’ve even called it a “work of art” before, and that sentiment definitely holds true.

Beyond its striking appearance, which could easily be mistaken for an Amiibo, this camera is surprisingly versatile. The pot base isn’t just for show; it cleverly doubles as both a sturdy stand and a USB extension. Need to game on the go? The Piranha Plant camera itself detaches from the pot, allowing you to plug it directly into the console’s USB port for portable mode.

Concerned about privacy? HORI has you covered with a built-in privacy shutter. Just close the Piranha Plant’s infamous mouth to obscure the lens when you’re not using it. While the camera’s technical specs won’t blow you away (it captures footage at 640x480p resolution and 30 frames per second), that’s more than enough for its intended purpose. Think capturing your floating head to accompany your kart in games like Mario Kart World or adding to the immersion in that recently released cozy campfire simulator.

It’s a delightful blend of functionality and fandom, making it a standout accessory for any Switch 2 owner looking to enhance their gaming experience with a touch of Nintendo magic – especially at such a great price.
