Donkey Kong's Gone Bananas (Early Copies in the Wild!)
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Early copies of *Donkey Kong Bananza* have leaked, which means some lucky (or unlucky, depending on Nintendo's mood) folks are getting their hands on it before the official release. Best behave and wait till the 17th, mates!
Right, listen up, because things are getting a bit… ape-shit. According to Game Rant, physical copies of *Donkey Kong Bananza* – you know, the one we've all been drooling over for the Switch 2 – have escaped into the wild a bit early. Like, way early. July 17th early.
Someone over on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit (pzstm, bless your heart) posted a few snaps of the actual game case. We're talking front, spine, the whole shebang. DK's looking rather punchy, Pauline's along for the ride clinging to his tie (health and safety gone out the window, clearly), and the back reveals exciting things like two-player co-op with split Joy-Cons. Ooh la la!
Now, I reckon a few eager beavers might be tempted to crack open those early copies. But a word to the wise: Nintendo's not exactly thrilled about piracy these days. Remember that whole NSw2u website takedown? Yeah, best to keep that disc sealed until the official release date, unless you fancy getting on the wrong side of the big N.
*Donkey Kong Bananza* is shaping up to be a pretty big deal – Game Rant mentions it's already topping the Amazon charts. Which begs the question: is this a genuine leak, or a cunning marketing ploy by Nintendo? I'm leaning towards the former, 'cause sometimes things just… happen. You know, like that time I accidentally turned my neighbor's cat into a sentient teapot. Good times.
Anyway, July 17th. Mark your calendars. And maybe hide your early copy from prying eyes. Just in case.
