The HORI Piranha Plant camera for Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for 33 percent off

Even though the Nintendo Switch 2 console has just launched, we’re already seeing some sweet deals on its accessories! One of the most unique and charming peripherals, the HORI Piranha Plant camera, is currently available for just $40. That’s a fantastic $20 off its regular price, marking a new record low. If you’re looking to dive into the Switch 2’s new camera features in games like Mario Kart World or that relaxing new campfire simulator, this is a deal you won’t want to miss.

This camera was designed specifically for Nintendo’s new console, ensuring a smooth, plug-and-play experience. What makes it even better? With this sale, it’s actually more affordable than the official Switch 2 camera, and let’s be honest, it looks significantly cooler! It’s modeled after the iconic Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series, a design we’ve previously admired as a “work of art,” and it truly holds up.

Beyond its striking appearance, which resembles a collectible Amiibo more than a typical camera, this device is incredibly practical. The pot the Piranha Plant sits in serves a dual purpose: it acts as a stable stand and also a USB extension. For those who prefer gaming on the go, the plant itself conveniently detaches from the pot, allowing you to plug the camera directly into the console’s top USB port for portable use.

Privacy is also a smart design consideration here. The Piranha Plant features a built-in privacy shutter – simply close its iconic mouth to obscure the lens. While the camera specifications won’t win any professional photography awards (it records at 640 x 480p resolution and 30 frames per second), these specs are perfectly adequate for its intended use, such as capturing your floating head to accompany your kart as you race through the colorful Mushroom Kingdom.

This charming and functional accessory is a great way to enhance your Switch 2 experience, especially at such an attractive price point.
