    Do not buy!

    Super cute look, worse than terrible quality. No clarity at all. Wanted to love it but told my family it’s just not worth it to keep. Would give zero stars if I could.

    Complete waste of money. The picture is completely blurry. It does not focus at all. The camera is always titled, will not stay straight. Really just terrible quality. Definitely a return.

    Horrible 480p Quality

    Very disappointing with this camera. The quality is horrendous. If you want to see pixels that sort of kinda look like you and your friends as you play your camera enabled games, then buy this. Otherwise, by the Nintendo official camera if you want a clearer images.

    It's cute but the mechanics are abysmal!

    Everyone giving 5x is basing it on looks alone! Super cute but impossibly laggy. Despite claiming to be an official licensed product, the Switch 2 doesn't even register it. The picture quality is horrible! 480p? Are you kidding?! Returning it immediately to buy the ugly black standard one because at least it's actually official and 1080p.

    Cute camera spin / poor video quality

    It was packaged well and offers a cute spin on the camera design, but not worth the 5 extra dollars. The packaged usb c cable didn’t work well when plugged in to the switch 2 on the dock for TV mode. Had to use another usb c cable to get it to work.

    Will Not Work With Games

    Just as a warning if you bought this for video chat or for Mario Party coming out soon it will not work for that. It currently does not work with Welcome Party and does not register multiple people like the switch camera does. So you will not be able to play games. I was so disappointed when I discovered this. Please be warned if you bought it to play games with.

    Don't waste your money!

    Thought this going to be a cool collection for the switch 2, but 480p is awful. Bought the black camera instead, for less money and better quality.

    Terrible Quality / Fun Design

    480p?!? It’s 2025 and no reason to have less than a 1080p camera. Quality is awful which is a shame because the idea of it is awesome

    Do not buy- horrible camera

    The camera quality is HORRIBLE which is such a shame because it’s so cute (especially compared to the normal camera) but since the camera quality is so bad it’s literally pointless to get. Buy the plain black one instead

    Camera quality is terrible!

    It's such a shame that the camera quality is so terrible because the product is made very well. I can't recommend this for the camera but it would look so cool as a paper weight. Unfortunately, I have to return this for the boring looking Nintendo camera.

    Doesn't meet the specs for camera related gameplay

    It looks good, and having the mouth act as a privacy screen is clever. That said, it doesn't actually work for Mario Kart, Switch 2 Tour, and likely any other game that uses the camera. It would be a simple video chat device, but any of the image recognition features do not work, presumably due to the low resolution.
