    TL;DR 640x480

    This should be illegal. We had webcams like this 20 years ago. But Nintendo customers seem to enjoy outdated hardware. It’s a tradition at this point

      On the bright side, the camera/Switch doesn’t use a proprietary connector, so you can plug a lot of cameras into the thing, and it will generally work.

      It’s not like the DS days, where if you wanted to plug a microphone in in addition to your headphones, they had a special connector for the mic part.

      I mean, it kinda makes sense as a webcam for only being used with the Switch 2… from a ‘minimum viable product’ standpoint.

      4 picture in picture windows of 640 x 480 on a 1920 x 1080 screen?

      Eh, good enough, rofl.

      I mean yeah, this is a joke, I also had a 640 x 480 webcam 20 years ago… but its very clear Nintendo has pivoted to the ‘milk all the accumulated goodwill out of our customer base’ phase of grand corporate strategy.

      They’ve gone full Mr. Krabs.

        Hori are well-known for their high quality controllers of all kinds. It’s pretty sad that they put out a piece of garbage like this.

          My experience with Hori has been terrible, highly rated controller went to shit in months with drift and buttons drop inputs when held down

            That’s unfortunate. Did you try anything with the warranty? I’m curious what that experience is like.

            I have a SF4 arcade stick that’s more than 15 years old now, still going strong.
