    Have you ever looked at your Wii remote and said, "Man, I'd really like to have a banana pouch to hold you." If you have, you're weird, OK? But you're also in luck. It appears as if Nintendo will cater to you in exactly the way you always wanted: by releasing a banana pouch for your controller. Go ahead, look at the banana pouch. Observe the rich color, the zipper, and… oh, yeah, the writing on the side.

    Yeah, you'll have to jump through a big hoop if you're into banana pouches. The only way to get one, according to this GameStop listing (via Joystiq), is by pre-ordering Retro Studios' promising-looking Wii-exclusive Donkey Kong Country Returns. Now, I suppose you need to ask yourself if a Wii Remote-holding banana pouch is worth $50. It is, right? 

    I suppose, at the end of the day, you could always find a similar and cheaper banana pouch over at Etsy. There are all kinds of people peddling their basement creations on that site. And, really, let's not take offense to that--dudes who make banana pouches for controllers are bound to be slightly off. Just a little.

    Makes sense, considering the game. Then again, who is going to be that anal to have to keep their wii controller in a pouch?
     
    Preorder stuff is dumb, but you can't beat free (with a preorder of course) banana pouches.

    SOLD!  I was just saying to myself: "damn my wiimotes sure are dusty.  I know I'm going to play the shit out of DKC when it comes out, but soon they'll just be collecting dust again.  What should I do?"  Now, I can just slid them in my handy banana pouch.

    For a second I thought the pre-order bonus was a banana hammock. Oddly enough, Donkey Kong would actually be creepier with a banana hammock than he is naked, probably because it would imply the presence of genitals that he currently does not have.

    For some reason, I find this totally awesome. I don't think I'd have much use for it though, since my wii-motes never leave my house.

    Some people seem to have gotten this idea in their heads that modern side-scrolling platformer = downloadable game.

    Looks rather pointless to me other than the using it for travel purposes just be sure to not put it in your pants.
