Nintendo vs. Hori: The Camera Clash!

In a surprising turn of events, the Hori Piranha Plant camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a lackluster resolution of just 480p, significantly lower than Nintendo's official 1080p camera.

UK My Nintendo Store Confirms Specifications

According to a recent update from the UK My Nintendo Store, here's how the two cameras stack up: - **Nintendo Switch 2 Camera:** 1080p video capture quality. - **Hori Piranha Plant Camera:** 640 x 480 resolution.

While Hori’s camera is wallet-friendly compared to Nintendo's $49.99 offering, it also grants players the freedom to use any compatible USB-C camera with the Switch 2.

A Unique Design with Portability!

What sets the Piranha Plant camera apart is its detachable design, allowing users to mount the camera directly on top of the Switch 2. Plus, you can cleverly close the plant's mouth to obscure the lens whenever you need privacy, a distinct advantage over Nintendo's official model.

Fans Left Reeling Over 480p!

The reaction from Nintendo fans was swift and humorous. One Redditor exclaimed, "How do you even make a 480p camera in 2025?" While another joked, "Maybe they meant to release this back when the Wii U came out!" With comments like, "Isn't 480p a crime nowadays?" it’s clear that gamers expected much more in this era of high-definition.

Exciting New GameChat Features!

At last week’s Nintendo Direct, the company unveiled the Switch 2's new GameChat capabilities, which can be accessed with a simple press of the C button on the new Joy-Con. This feature allows players to see each other while gaming, regardless of which titles they are enjoying, supplemented by a reliable built-in microphone.

The C button’s chat menu is designed to streamline online multiplayer experiences, potentially marking a revolutionary push by Nintendo into the online gaming arena.
