If you’re looking forward to the Nintendo Switch 2’s new GameChat feature but haven’t snagged a camera yet, there are now three official USB-C cameras to choose from. Nintendo’s first-party Switch 2 Camera has sold out a few times, but the $55 accessory at a few different retailers at the moment.
Alternatively, Hori’s lineup of officially licensed Nintendo Switch 2 accessories includes two unique cameras. The most popular of the two so far has been the one themed around Super Mario’s Piranha Plant. Walmart just restocked the Piranha Plant Camera and is selling it for one buck less than other retailers. Meanwhile, Hori’s USB Camera is a portable-minded option for TV, handheld, and tabletop modes.
It’s worth noting that the Switch 2 will support select third-party USB-C cameras, including existing cameras not technically designed for Switch 2. Nintendo will offer a “Test USB Camera” feature in the system settings so you can check if your device is supported.
