Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently bought this camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 from Best Buy. Overall, the camera works well and feels very solid — the build quality is excellent and it has a nice weight to it, which makes it feel premium. However, when projecting the camera feed on the Switch 2 screen, only half of the image is displayed. I’m not sure if this is a software issue or something related to compatibility. Despite this, I’m satisfied with the product so far and hope a future update might fix the display problem.

Pretty high quality camera, captures at 1080p, 30fps as described. Wide field of view to catch multiple.subjects for games with multiplayer. A little expensive at standard MSRP.but i managed to get it on sale about 50% off, which is a steal.

Super easy set up, works great with Nintendo chat and picture quality is pretty good too! A little smaller than i imagined so it gets in the way less than i thought it would!

I pre-ordered this gor my Switch 2. It came the same day I ordered it! My delivery driver was super nice. I plugged it in to my Switch 2 and it worked as described in the product description. This was a blast to pkay with the family and brought back are family gamw nights. Do I recommend? Yeah I do! Go and buy the Switch 2 camera if you want to enhance your switch 2 experience!

Not the best quality, I don't quite understand how people are using their cameras with a big group but it does make games more interesting & fun!

The camera itself doesn’t struggle much to pick up on your face, and the image quality isn’t terrible. The price however would and should cause hesitation. There are very few games, especially at the moment, that utilize the camera functionality. Even then, it’s simple and gimmicky. If you don’t foresee yourself using the consoles new chat features, I wouldn’t spring for this.

Low usage for the Switch 2 but it's still a cool accessory to keep around for GameChat.

It's built sturdy, has a wide lens capture with hi-quality picture output, BUT can be a pain to find the right angle, and is definitely overpriced for what it is. Buy it on sale.

It works and looks really good and it shows good quality

So cool to be able to see you face during gameplay. Works well even with multiple people in the room.

What to say it works the switch 2 frames it ok, placement is a little difficult but it might not get used very much

Good build quality just Not worth the money, very low quality camera for the price it’s 720p. It’s 2025, do better nintendo

I don't think this is worth the full price. I got it when it was on sale. It works fine but there's nothing special about it besides the fact that it's the official Nintendo camera.

I have used this twice to play mario party with my kids and some family. They enjoyed the replays after the game but it often missed the moments because it doesn’t do any tracking, it just has you put a circle around your face that doesn’t adjust when you move, and kids are always moving, which is annoying. Overall its fun. Great field of view to see an entire room and quality is good enough to see your fun moment

Testing this camera with the Switch 2, it picks up images really well even in low light conditions, the field of view is wide and gets my whole couch. Very fun to play mini games with in Welcome Tour or Mario Party.

It wokrs great i got it specifically for star fox on the switch 2 for the augmented reality features and it works good. Sadly there juzt not many uses foe the camera on the switch 2 and you cant use it for anything else other than the switch 2. But it is a well made product. So if theres a game you want to use it for or if you have a bunch of friends on nintendo switch 2 that you want to do video chat with them go ahead and get it when its on sale otherwise dont bother cuz you wont use it and it will just sit there and colelct dust.

I'd originally setup an old Logitech webcam as my Switch 2's camera for GameChat. The quality was fine, but the design was made for sitting the camera on top of a monitor rather than an entertainment center. It seems like such a small detail, but the stand on Nintendo's official Switch 2 camera really did make all the difference in a) making it stand reliably on my entertainment center, b) not interfering with my view of the TV, and c) allowing it to stand above and peer over my soundbar so that it gets a clear view. Worth the purchase if you like to play online with friends with video on.

Works as intended. Visual quality is good for its purpose.

Was going between this one and the Hori Piranha Plant version which looks really cool. Looking into the specs I noticed this offered a higher resolution which as been important as it can capture 4 players for games like Mario Kart World and Super Mario Party Jamboree by zooming in on their faces. I can't imagine things would be very clear with the lower res camera. I was able to get it on sale too which was even better :-)

I love the quality of the camera and it just works perfect for online gaming chat. Definitely a must buy.
