Why it’s worth it
Aside from its novelty and design (it looks more like an Amiibo than a camera), the Piranha Plant camera is practical for games that add face-cam features. The included privacy shutter and detachable design make it versatile across handheld, tabletop, and TV modes.
Note: Camera specs are basic (640×480 @30FPS), but are sufficient for in-game face cams and fun customization. This post removes links to the original RSS news source per instructions.
