Someone has created a Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con holder that can store a medium box of McDonald’s fries while you play. Why? No idea. But I’m not sorry they have, though.
“Level up your snacking game with GamiFries — the ultimate way to game with fries on the side!” exclaims the creator, who has charitably uploaded the 3D-print file to MakerWorld for free (thanks, TheGamer). “It’s the world’s first fries holder for your Switch 2. Never choose between eating fries or gaming again.”
This means that with a 3D printer, a little time, and a big bag of magnets, you too can shovel fries into your mouth whilst simultaneously skidding around a corner in Mario Kart World. The “GamiFries” Joy-Con holder can even be used in two modes: Controller and Handheld.
Thankfully, you don’t have to empty the fries into it; you can slip the full contents, box and all, into the holder, which will hopefully stop the interior of the Joy-Con holder getting greasy.
“This is actually genius,” posted one commenter, while another added: “It’s just a shame the fries are not included haha.”
The usage guidelines are pretty strict, though. “Do not use the rig without the fries box. Do not attempt to eat your GamiFries rig. It is a mount for your fries box. Do not say ‘Looks like it’s time for another side quest’ every time you eat a fry from GamiFries. Do not sell your GamiFries. Unless it’s for a whole lot of money. GamiFries is open source. And open to sauces. Big Mac Compatible. As in, you can eat your fries with a Big Mac.”
Personally, I’m waiting for the next iteration that will hopefully include a little napkin dispenser so you can wipe your fingers in between mouthfuls.
Nintendo Switch 2 is now officially the fastest-selling video game console in U.S. history, with 1.6 million units sold in the U.S. in June, beating out the PlayStation 4’s previous record of 1.1 million units in November of 2012. 82% of those Switch 2 purchasers also picked up Mario Kart World at the same time.
“The Nintendo Switch 2 is a vital upgrade over the original Switch if that’s the only way you’ve been able to play games for the last eight years,” we wrote in IGN’s Nintendo Switch 2 review, awarding it 7/10, “but improvements that are mostly playing catch-up and a big price jump make this sequel system about as exciting as a long-overdue phone upgrade in the larger scheme of things.”
