After debuting a fun Piranha Plant-inspired alternative to Nintendo’s own $50 Switch 2 camera, Hori is back with another camera accessory for the console that’s less fun but more functional. Standing just shy of two inches tall and weighing 30 grams, the camera is small and light enough to be connected to the Switch 2’s top USB-C port without making the console feel top-heavy while playing in handheld mode.
Hori’s USB Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 is currently listed on the Amazon Japan website for 3,981 yen, or around $28, making it much cheaper than the company’s $60 Piranha Plant cam. It’s not known if the tiny camera will be exclusive to Japan, but since the Piranha Plant is already listed on Hori’s US website, there’s a good chance this one will also see wider availability. For now, only Amazon Japan has the new camera listed with a June 5th, 2025 release date.

Nintendo is going to include a built-in camera in Switch 2 oled for sure
Why did they make it 480p again, c’mon
The PSP GO!Cam reborn
Buying one for Steam Deck
Who gives a shit?
The Wii U had a built in camera. Now I have to buy a separate camera for the same functionality.
Yayyyy I was really hoping for something like this
Why do I feel like temu discord is just gonna be filled with perverts and only fans users…….
Now it makes sense that when docked the switch 2 isn’t completely covered. Newer switch 2 definitely gonna have a built in camera
