Your Switch 2 will happily use a webcam without USB-C, and I feel like Nintendo should be telling you that

Nintendo would obviously love it if you grabbed a Switch 2 and its new Camera, but it does gracefully say you can use USB-C webcams too. However, even with that admission, it's not quite giving you the right information, as you can actually plug standard USB-A accessories into the docking station without a hitch.

Just to be clear, while the best Nintendo Switch 2 cameras use USB-C, you can use compatible USB-A webcams with the gaming handheld. Everywhere you look online right now, you'll see the phrase USB-C haunting the narrative, especially on Ninty's own site. Therefore, it feels only right to spread the word before any of you spend needlessly on adapters and different accessories.
