Despite chaotic pre-sales in regions like the United States, the Nintendo Switch 2 console and accessories like the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera have been selling incredibly well, though many have lamented the lack of themed designs for the hardware. This prompted one fan to design their own take on the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, sparking discussion among audiences about the possibility of future special edition offerings that could make the accessory more enticing for consumers.

First revealed during the April 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera connects directly into the console and allows players to share video of themselves with others while enjoying multiplayer and co-op games. This helps families and friends to see and interact with one another in a more immersive way while using the Nintendo Switch 2 without needing to utilize third-party apps or services. Many have already voiced their enthusiasm for the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, though players have already pointed out a major missed opportunity with the accessory.

Nintendo Switch 2 Fans Are Trying to Deter Scalpers on eBay

As gamers try to secure Switch 2 pre-orders, some Nintendo fans employ a new strategy to stop scalpers from taking advantage of demand.

A number of Nintendo fans have questioned the lack of theming on the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, with one player sharing a fun Lakitu design that would have added more personality to the hardware. The design sees Lakitu floating on a cloud while holding a TV camera attached to a fishing pole, which many players will recognize as the familiar camera operator from beloved games like Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Fellow players instantly chimed in with their love of the design, with many noting that they wished the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera design was more colorful and fit in with the world of Super Mario Bros. or another Nintendo franchise. While some fans may not care for the simple design, retailers have revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is selling surprisingly well alongside the highly anticipated new console.

Nintendo Switch 2 Console and Accessory Sales Continue to Rise

Contrary to analyst predictions ahead of pre-order starting dates, the Nintendo Switch 2 console, camera, and controllers have already been hitting massive sales milestones, with many retailers struggling to meet demand. There has been debate over the pricing model used for both the software and hardware of the Nintendo Switch 2, but it would seem that countless fans have been unfazed by the Switch 2 price tag. Whether Nintendo will be able to provide enough products by the time the launch date rolls around remains a topic of speculation, leaving many players keeping their fingers crossed that their Nintendo Switch 2 console and cameras will be ready on June 5.

As the chaos of Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders continues to unfold, some players are contentedly waiting for special editions of the hardware to be launched at future dates. While there have been no such products officially confirmed to be in the works by Nintendo, many are hopeful that a fun character-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Camera or a more colorfully designed Nintendo Switch 2 console will be on the way.
