    This is a really cool plant. It doesn't need water and it doesn't need to much sunlight. Doesn't work really well on a Samsung 75" inch TV though. It is a great item for those who love and respect Nintendo and there posterchild Mario. LoL hehe

    Pros: Looks great as a novelty Piraahna Plant | Cons: Terrible camera quality. 480p. Really? Doesn't mention video quality on the box. This is unacceptable quality for 2025 and not worth the price. Come on. Returned.

    It may be cheaper now (it was more expensive at launch) but the camera quality is only 480p so it looks awful it also barely connects to the switch 2

    Its 2025 and a 480p webcam costing more than the official 1080p one is insane to say the least. Looks great, but best buy will have a ton of these available open box.

    It's absolutely adorable. Unfortunately its picture quality is not. Everything is built beautifully. Cables are sturdy. Set up is clean cut. But the picture is very washed out. I Unfortunately returned. If it had been cheaper I would have kept for collector at least.

    Best Buy does well restocking their gaming stuff, and they are pretty reliable with pre-orders. So glad I got my hands on this for my Switch 2. Design is adorable!

    The nintendo camera is cheaper, has better resolution and is less glitchy. Its too bad as the character design is cool but not worth it just for design

    The plant looks cute but the camera is 480p and is of really low image quality. Nearly unusable. I also had issues with with mouth not wanting to stay closed due to a cheap hinge. I returned this product.

    The only thing about this item-I call it item because to call this a camera would be a joke-that is of any quality is the look. That's it! The device is oh such bad quality for a camera that you can draw something better than the image it outputs. Do not buy this unless you want it to be a art piece, nothing else.

    Yeah it’s cute. The camera is awful. Get the Nintendo camera even though that one ain’t cute but it’s 4k. I was sitting 8 feet away from this piranha one and had no idea what was me. Cleaned the lens, still hard to make out a person on the screen. Returned. My cell phone in 2005 had a better camera.

    I was excited to get this because it looked cute and also doubles as a camera for game chat, I still havent tested it out yet but a video popped up recently about the quality compared to the regular camera. theres no way Im paying grand total of $63 for a 480p camera in the year 2025. I’ve bought 720p and 1080p cameras for half that price on amazon. why is this more expensive than the regular cam that has better quality? just cause its a piranha ? nope im returning it immediately
