Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories: GamiFries Unofficial Joy-Con 2 Holder Makes a Quirky Debut
Just two months into the Nintendo Switch 2’s life cycle, the new console is already seeing some of the most unconventional accessories in modern gaming.
Among these, GamiFries—a creation currently circulating in gaming communities—is capturing attention for both its creativity and humor.
Designed by user 7R135 and available on the popular 3D printing hub MakerWorld, GamiFries is an unofficial Joy-Con 2 holder ingeniously modeled after a McDonald’s fries container.
Background and Features
While Nintendo has become renowned for its innovative hardware, including the modular Joy-Con controllers and a steadily growing library of Switch 2 accessories, GamiFries stands out for its playful approach.
This distinctive accessory lets users combine their love for gaming and fast food by serving as both a Joy-Con 2 holder and a receptacle for a medium-sized box of fries.
The creator's inspiration likely stems from the versatility of both Nintendo hardware and the creativity fostered by the 3D printing community.
GamiFries supports two configurations: Controller Mode and Handheld Mode.
In Controller Mode, the device functions as a casual Joy-Con holder.
Handheld Mode, on the other hand, actually allows users to attach the fry holder directly onto the Switch 2 console, offering a hands-on demonstration of both the practical and absurd possibilities that fans can achieve through custom hardware.
A viral demonstration video showcases these modes in action, humorously highlighting the sight of controllers sporting visible grease after extended, snack-filled play sessions.
Community Innovation and Assembly Details
Although GamiFries is not an official Nintendo product and is unavailable through retail outlets or the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, its digital blueprints are freely accessible for those with 3D printers.
To assemble the accessory in both Controller and Handheld modes, users will need 24 magnets (measuring 25 x 5 x 3 mm) to ensure secure attachment to either the Joy-Con 2 controllers or the main Switch 2 system.
Full assembly instructions and details are provided via the MakerWorld project page.
Importantly, the design sidesteps legal concerns regarding trademarked logos by featuring a neutral, open space in place of any licensed branding.
Promotional images depict a real McDonald’s fries box inserted into the device, but the accessory itself is logo-free.
Notably, the current dimensions fit only a medium-sized fries box, meaning larger portions are not supported—at least for now.
Broader Impact on Nintendo Switch 2 Ecosystem
GamiFries exemplifies the innovative possibilities emerging from the intersection of modular console design and accessible 3D printing technology.
As more community creators experiment with custom accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2, the gaming landscape continues to evolve with unexpected inventions—italics both useful and whimsical.
This lifecycle trend affirms the widespread influence of Nintendo’s hardware philosophy as well as the growing role of independent makers.
While the Switch 2’s official accessory lineup is expanding—with notable entries such as the updated Joy-Con 2 and new features available via the Nintendo Switch Online service—community-driven projects like GamiFries punctuate the console’s unique cultural presence.
Expect the eShop and third-party spaces to remain vibrant with fresh, fan-driven ideas as Nintendo’s latest hardware gains momentum worldwide.
