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 But Nintendo customers seem to enjoy outdated hardware.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

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.

Surprised you can even get such shit sensors anymore. Surely it's cheaper to get the mass produced HD+ ones nowadays? Or did someone find a warehouse of 90s trash?

It's not an official Nintendo product.

Nintendo takes pride in using outdated hardware. Kinda cool in some cases kinda "wtf" in others.

But they sold the permission to have this garbage made with their character and branding.

I just read that this camera is used to animate avatars. I'm sure they won't be using tons of processing power to read facial expressions.
Are there going to be any games that actually make use of the camera as a camera?
If so, I just imagine people sending their dicks or memes over the camera.

To Hori, a company that makes fairly decent third-party controllers. They likely had a reasonable expectation that the product wouldn't be shit.
It disgusts me to defend Nintendo in anything but this just isn't their fault.

Companies usually get a test product before approval. That's because you wouldn't want to license to some who might go rogue for some cash and do a Nindildo or such.

This camera is a Hori product though.
