Don't buy that cute Switch 2 Piranha Plant camera - it's rubbish

This post did not contain any content.Those camera modules for laptops are worth almost nothing with modern resolutions. How greedy can Nintendo be if they cut costs this way??? At least they didn't make it proprietary so you could use one of these modules instead if you solder a USB cable to it, for like 5$

Hori are well-known for their high quality controllers of all kinds. It's pretty sad that they put out a piece of garbage like this.

TL;DR 640x480 This should be illegal. We had webcams like this 20 years ago. But Nintendo customers seem to enjoy outdated hardware. It's a tradition at this pointI mean, it kinda makes sense as a webcam for only being used with the Switch 2... from a 'minimum viable product' standpoint. 4 picture in picture windows of 640 x 480 on a 1920 x 1080 screen? Eh, good enough, rofl. I mean yeah, this is a joke, I also had a 640 x 480 webcam 20 years ago... but its very clear Nintendo has pivoted to the 'milk all the accumulated goodwill out of our customer base' phase of grand corporate strategy. They've gone full Mr. Krabs.

-
Oh, I missed that. That's actually a bit surprising since Hori usually makes very high quality stuff.Not in my experience, Hori shit breaks in no time. Modern madcatz garbage

I'm curious what that experience is like. I have a SF4 arcade stick that's more than 15 years old now, still going strong.

This post did not contain any content.It sucks because it’s cute. I like piranha plants in general. Honestly though I don’t expect more from Hori. When I saw it was there’s and not Nintendo propers I was instantly hesitant. I just wanted a cute webcam for my work office.
