OK, obviously cameras are not a new innovation in console gaming, and Nintendo themselves have experimented with them before with the DSi and various other devices. But the moment the Switch 2 Direct’s video started showing how it intended to use a camera, everything started getting that notorious Ninty weirdness. I smiled big.

The Nintendo Switch didn’t make it easy to let you connect with friends and strangers over the internet. The Switch 2, on the other hand, is fully embracing connectivity. To that end, a stand-up camera will be launched alongside the Switch 2 on June 5 that can be used with its GameChat feature.

Nintendo has revealed a new peripheral for its upcoming console. Wednesday's Switch 2 Direct continued with more features for Nintendo's new console. One of the most interesting items of note is a new camera peripheral simply called the Switch 2 Camera.
