With the recent release of the Nintendo Switch 2, the gaming world eagerly anticipates a new wave of accessories. While many might expect ergonomic controllers or improved peripherals, one inventive creator has introduced a truly unconventional—and potentially messy—solution: a 3D-printable holder for McDonald`s fries. Dubbed “GamiFries,” this unique device allows players to attach their Switch or Joy-Cons directly to a container, enabling convenient snacking during intense gaming sessions, perhaps while enjoying a round of Donkey Kong Bananza.
The design of the GamiFries accessory is remarkably simple. It features a container perfectly sized for a medium order of fries, complete with an opening that cleverly showcases the iconic McDonald`s logo. Integrated side rails are designed to securely fit a Joy-Con, or the entire setup can be expanded to accommodate the Switch 2 console itself with controllers attached. This ingenious arrangement theoretically frees up a hand for snacking mid-game. However, the practical implications of combining greasy fries with sensitive electronic devices raise immediate concerns regarding cleanliness.
While the thought of unceremoniously devouring fries directly from the holder might be tempting (especially when gaming alone), the reality is that frequent cleaning of your Switch 2 and its controllers will become a necessity if you embrace this game-and-eat cradle. This potential mess might even prompt some users to reconsider and opt for a more conventional, mess-free alternative, such as investing in an $85 Switch 2 Pro Controller or a reliable third-party device from brands like 8BitDo.
In broader news concerning the Nintendo Switch 2, industry analysts are closely monitoring its performance during the upcoming lucrative holiday sales season. This period is seen as a crucial test for Nintendo`s new hardware following its impressive launch. The console has already shattered records, selling 1.6 million units in the US within its first month—a feat that broke a 17-year US sales record. Globally, an astonishing 3.5 million units were sold in just four days. Nintendo itself projects a total of 15 million Switch 2 consoles to be sold by the end of its current fiscal year in March 2026.
