Donkey Kong Country Returns pre-order bonus is a-peel-ing

by Griffin McElroy on Sep 24th 2010 2:20PM

So, here's the problem: We're big fans of the recently revealed pre-order bonus for Donkey Kong Country Returns, but we don't really know what to call it. Everything we've come up with so far has been way, way too suggestive: Banana dock? Banana holder? Banana sheath? The official GameStop announcement refers to it as a "banana pouch," but even that hits the ear in a manner which causes our inner eight-year-old to flare up with tittering.

Until we can settle on an appropriate name, we'll simply have to refer to it as a Tropical Fruited Wii Remote Cover. The T.F.W.R.C. can be yours by dropping a five-spot on a reservation for Donkey Kong Country Returns at GameStop, either online or in your nearest brick-and-mortar locale.

Now, how do we feel about "banana holster?"

Good news, everyone! Preorders of Donkey Kong Country Returns from Gamestop will net you these tasteful tropical fruit-flavored condoms!

I'd rather have a banana phone.

I'm 12 and what is this

stupidly funny. yet i want one?

I like how the NannerSheath has a Wii remote with the Wii Condom attached. Can't get any more protected than that!

@Faren22

double bag it!

+1 to everyone who thinks of a witty name, but doesn't going to thesaurus.com.

My vote goes to Banana Sac.

:S

@The Pork

*doesn't *go* to thesaurus.com

@The Pork

But thesaurus.com and dictionary.com are awesome. I love a good excuse to learn me some properly spelled jargon.

Just be careful to not leave this in the middle of the road.

@343 Guilty Fart My car doesn't slip off a banana peel.

Sounds like Nintendo fans are gonna go "Bananas" over this pre-order bonus!

*slaps knee and laughs heartily*

So you have a Wii... and a Wii condom... and a banana covering all that. Wow, this is ONE HELL of a dirty system! :P

@HasteMakesWaste Too long, didn't r-- Oh, yes, I did.

I can't wait to try this thing on. I just hope it fits.

Plantainer Container?

I was hoping for DKC-themed Bananagrams. :-(

Never say preorder bonuses don't work.

preorder'd

There's always money in the Banana Stand

oh I see what you did there

I had a Donkey Kong 64 banana sleeve for my N64 controller back in the day:

@Flapjackal Where did you get that???

@LittleMofreaky I don't exactly recall how I came to own such a whimsical accoutrement. Alas, it was auctioned off on eBay many, many moons ago.

Banana Hammote.

Nintendo's been coming up with some sweet, albeit pointless, preorder bonuses lately

This Shit is bananas!

Peel Pouch?

Also, who else will try to use this while driving out of instinct?

Hey, is that a banana in your pocket?

we'll make your banana stand

Pre order DK Country Returns and get a free Dick-Joke case.

Honestly, I'm not impressed. This is an object of secondary use, at best; it's a Wiimote case. I'd much rather get some figurines or a hat or something. I am disappoint.

@ch3burashka

I agree. I'm all about the Golden Eye bonus, tho!

Eh, this isn't really worth the hassle of buying this game on the launch date, but I'll buy this game A.S.A.P..
