Hori will release a special camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 based on the Piranha Plant enemies that appear in the Super Mario Bros series. The product page for the camera has been spotted and available to pre-order on the German electronics store MediaMarkt, where it costs €39,99 (or approximately $43.89). No pre-order pages are live on stores in other regions as of time of writing. [Thanks, Game Watch!] The camera will be available on the same day as the new Nintendo console releases, which is June 5, 2025. The new Piranha Plant camera will support USB-C connection with the Nintendo Switch 2 system, and it comes with a potted plant style base stand to easily place. The mouth also offers a privacy mode by closing its mouth so it cannot broadcast an image. As with many other goods released by Hori in the past, the new camera is an officially licensed item. At the time of writing, there is no information on the camera releasing outside of Germany. However, since Hori is a Japanese company, we can certainly expect the camera to appear in its home country at some point. There is a possibility we might also see it appear in other European countries.
