    Great addition to my new Switch 2. It was a lot smaller than I was expecting. But they expect you to mount it to the top of your switch in portable mode.

    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
