With the recent launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, an influx of new accessories is anticipated. While many might hope for ergonomic controller upgrades, one innovative creator has introduced a unique – and somewhat messy – solution: the GamiFries. This 3D-printable holder allows users to attach their Joy-Cons or the Switch console itself, enabling them to enjoy McDonald`s fries during intense gaming sessions like `Donkey Kong Bananza`.
The GamiFries accessory features a straightforward design, accommodating a medium-sized carton of fries with a cutout to display the McDonald`s logo. Its side rails securely hold a Joy-Con 2, or the holder can be attached to both sides of the Switch 2 console, with controllers then added. This design theoretically allows for convenient snacking during gameplay, though the practicality of consuming greasy fries while handling an expensive console is highly questionable.
While humorously suggesting direct consumption, the article highlights the inevitable mess this accessory would create. Users opting for this 3D-printed `game-and-eat` cradle should be prepared for frequent cleaning of their Switch 2 and controllers. As a more practical alternative, investing in a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller or a dependable third-party option from brands like 8BitDo is recommended.
Shifting focus to broader Switch 2 news, industry analysts, including Circana`s Mat Piscatella, are keenly observing the console`s performance during the upcoming holiday season, which will serve as a crucial test following its strong debut. The Switch 2 has already achieved remarkable sales, moving 1.6 million units in the US during its first month, breaking a 17-year sales record. Globally, 3.5 million units were sold in just four days. Nintendo projects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles by the end of its current fiscal year in March 2026.
