Check out this review by ProjectorCentral if you want an inexpensive way to achieve quality HD picture in the 80" to 100" screen sizes. This projector has a game mode that accelerates the video buffer to 0.3 ms and adjusts picture to bring out details in shadows. It's a very bright front projector and can be used in lighted areas. Not mentioned in the review or in Panasonics online literature is the type of HDMI inputs - there are two inputs and they are HDMI 1.3 (take note PS3 owners).
The Piranha Plant camera for Nintendo Switch 2 looks great, but its resolution is limited to 480p, compared to the official webcam's 1080p.
Even better... the lower the res, the less bandwidth it will use to transmit video while playing. Besides, i dont think anyone will be buying it to actually use... I'm getting it just for the aesthetic. Maybe another company (or Hori themselves) can offer a Lakitu holding the video camera while riding a cloud like he does in the game. That would be another cool one to have.
🤦🏻 what we shouldn’t be hearing..
So you prefer it because it’s low resolution? Just wow!
If for the look you can get piranha night lamp 10 times cheaper
Yeah an easier solution to low bandwidth would be to use a 4k camera, and allow you to choose to broadcast in lower res for bandwidth preservation.... Not force poor quality
Question tho - what about the matching Printer? Bring back Gameboy Camera + Printer and reboot Mario Paint with it all too
It should be cheaper because of the lower resolution, now if it could switch between 480p and 720p it would be good enough.
The sites I've seen selling it don't even state a resolution in the description.
Your comment is wild they could've done a better camera than that. The only thing I agree with is the idea about Lakitu.
Actually, if you're overlaying yourself on top of your game stream you've not changed anything bandwidth wise.
This is a hori product which I've always felt the build quality was a bit iffy on their gamepads so to see them passive off a low resolution camera is unsurprising
is it shocking?
really?
its funny tho, the camera is 34 moneys woth 480p resolution only, i found one for 11 with 1080p resolution haha wat a rip off ha
Dude, I was SO ready to give Nintendo my money for the Switch 2, I've been wanting to buy a portable for a while and didn't pull the plug because I was waiting for the Switch 2.
Now I just want Nintendo to fail, I sincerely hope they do, because this is just absurd at this time, this is worse than PS3 era Sony at this point.
Actually the multiple fails since reveal event just made me start playing switch again because i know i won’t be getting this thing anytime soon. The more i hear of it the less i want it..
Exactly this is sony level obnoxious behavior from Nintendo. So much of switch 2's reveal is anti consumer. Like Zelda remastered not including expansions. I really hope switch 2 struggles so Nintendo have to change their policies. Early struggles will give Nintendo a much needed wake up call
But let's be honest it's Nintendo system will do well. They have dabs who will defend them no matter what
LMAO thanks man i needed that lol... you made me break into a full blown laugh where i am literally sitting here crying.. its 7am here in the uk and now my wife has woken up hearing me laugh my ass off.. asking whats to funny.. now she can make me some breakfast.. haa
On a serious note.. man Nintendo take the biscuit and have the cheek to also ask for some nutella..
Like you can literally by 4k webcams for £50 which auto follow you and have remotes etc
I have my switch 2 pre ordered as i love all things Nintendo but i wont be bothering with the cam etc
I suspect they will allow third party cams to work as the wording used around usb c cameras seems like it will be allowed.. but time will tell. Thanks for the laugh i needed it.. had a looong week at work.
The peripheral maker continues to impress with this retro-style controller.
i have the Nyxi Wizard GC style joycons and was very impressed. It made playing metroid prime remaster feel even better than i remember.
By the age of 10, the only consoles I have played were NES, SNES and Genesis. Genesis was my favourite out of the bunch but I can safely say that my favourite consoles has been the PS3.

I got all excited untill I read it was only 720p which begs the question, why was the projector allowed to have HDMI 1.3 if it's only printing to screen 720. it accepts 1080 but if it can't accept native 1080 I'm not buying.
As nice as that looks, I'm afraid to ask what the price is. lol.
This projector is so badass. Bioshock, Halo 3, Metroid Prime 3, HD DVD's, they all look so sick on this projector. As it says in the review, you won't be able to tell the difference between this 720p projector and a 1080p one. And it's only $1299! (USD street price). It's definitely not worth paying nearly $3000 for a 1080p projector or $3000 for a puny 60" plasma. This sucker gets a screen size of up to 140" in my apartment and it amazes everyone who sees it.
I have an infocus projector I found at a pawn shop and managed to get it for $200-300 and I get high definition out of it. The catch is that it doesnt have anything but s video, rca inputs, and a vga port, so I can only hook up a 360 to it because Microsoft is the only company that makes a cable ($40) hd vga cable specifically for the 360 to do so. And the thing that changes in your settings on the xbox is when you go to hd display, instead of it giving you the choice of 480,720,1080i, and 1080p, it goes from 640X480 all the way up to 1920x1080..........once you play in hd on a projector, you NEVER will go back to an lcd or plasma. I was playing Gears on a 100" screen in HD and it was everything you think it is.................AMAZING!!! But, there are already some other projectors you can buy from circuit city for about $600-$999 that has hdmi inputs and Sony has some high end 1080p projectors which by far are the best looking design wise and maybe even picture wise, and you can get them anywhere from $1799 to about $20,000...........and yes I did say twenty thousand dollars, but imagine having your own private high end movie theater in your house............well worth it.
If you read the review. This projector is so good unless it was next to another 1080p projector you couldn't tell even then Projectcentral said it was hard press to find anything wrong with this projector. I can't afford an awesome $3500 Front Projector or Flat Screen but $1299 is great and you can easily achieve 100" with this thing in a lighted room! Panasonic has some awesome technology when it comes to Front Projectors and they are alway price competively.
This article was place here for those who are budget conscious or don't like blowing money
This projector is considered on the budget end of Front Projection. What is great about these projectors is that the price goes down pretty quickly because of the competitive nature of the mid and higher end projection market. It's easy to find awesome 1080p Projectors in the $3000 to $4000 range today verses 8 to 12 months ago these projectors would have gone for $5000 to $7000.
I wouldn't be surprised if I see this projector drop to sub $1000 prices after Christmas.
