HORI’s new Piranha Plant camera landed as one of the more unique Switch 2 accessories alongside the new handheld, and it’s now seeing its first big discount. Over at Amazon, you’ll find HORI’s Piranha Plant camera down at $39.99 shipped. That’s a straight-up $20 discount on its $60 launch price and the lowest we have tracked for it to date. It saw some very small discounts at Amazon shortly after its debut, but today’s 33% markdown makes it a lot easier on your wallet. Best Buy is also matching Amazon’s price today, so be sure to snag it while you can. Head below for more details.

This officially licensed Switch 2 accessory is designed to look like the iconic Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series. It’s essentially a USB-C camera built for Nintendo’s new handheld. You can detach the plant’s stem and plug it directly into the top of your console, rest it on its base for tabletop use, or even mount it on top of your TV while gaming. What’s also great about the camera is that the plant’s mouth doubles as a built-in privacy shutter, meaning you can simply close it to block the camera when not in use. It’s worth noting that just about any USB-C camera can technically work with the Switch 2 (and some may offer better specs for the price), this one stands out for its fun design and thoughtful functionality.

If you’re looking to pick up some new games to play on Switch 2, then here’s a quick list of titles from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct that are now up for pre-order. Also, here’s a complete list of official Switch 2 accessories that are now up for grabs at Amazon.
