With the recent launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, new accessories are expected to emerge. While many might anticipate improved controllers, one creative individual has developed a uniquely different—and potentially messy—solution: the GamiFries. This 3D-printable holder, available for free if you own a 3D printer, allows users to attach their Joy-Cons or the Switch 2 console itself, enabling convenient snacking on McDonald`s fries during gameplay.
The GamiFries accessory features a straightforward design, perfectly sized to accommodate a medium carton of McDonald`s fries, complete with a cutout to display the iconic logo. It incorporates side rails designed to securely attach a Joy-Con 2, or it can be expanded to fit directly onto either side of the Switch 2 console, with controllers added afterwards. While this setup offers the convenience of hands-free fry consumption during gaming, the inherent greasiness of fast food makes it a less-than-ideal pairing for electronic devices.
While humorously suggesting more unconventional eating methods, the reality remains: using such a device will likely necessitate frequent cleaning of your Switch 2 and its controllers. Perhaps investing in a dedicated Switch 2 Pro Controller or a reliable third-party alternative like those from 8BitDo might be a cleaner and more practical solution for serious gamers.
Beyond accessories, the Nintendo Switch 2`s market performance continues to be a point of interest. Industry analyst Mat Piscatella views the upcoming holiday season as a significant test for Nintendo`s new hardware, following its remarkably strong debut. The console achieved impressive sales, with 1.6 million units sold in its first month in the US alone, breaking a 17-year record. Globally, 3.5 million units were sold within just four days. Nintendo itself projects sales of 15 million Switch 2 consoles by the end of its current business year in March 2026.
