HORI Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2
Product Overview:
The HORI Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 is a USB-C video camera for the
Nintendo Switch 2. The Camera Unit connects directly to the Nintendo Switch 2 console via
USB-C connection for use in portable mode and tabletop mode, or connects to the Nintendo
Switch 2 via the included Base unit and USB-C to UBC-C Cable for TV mode and tabletop

adjusted as needed, and the mouth of the Piranha Plant can be closed, obscuring the camera
lens and acting as a lens cover. The Base unit is shaped like the Warp Pipe from the Super
Mario universe. It is weighted for stability when placed on flat surfaces. The Base also has an
adjustable clip on the bottom of unit that allows it to be mounted to TVs and monitors during use
in TV mode.
