Nintendo Fan Creates Custom Switch 2 Dock Cover Inspired By Donkey Kong

by

A dedicated fan of the game “Donkey Kong Bananza” recently took creativity a step further by designing and printing a custom dock cover for the Nintendo Switch 2, based on the iconic gorilla character. The latest solo adventure of Donkey Kong has been receiving exceptional praise since its release this month, with some even referring to “Donkey Kong Bananza” as the first standout game for the potential successor of the Nintendo Switch.

In the game “Donkey Kong Blitz,” Donkey Kong embarks on a journey to an extensive subterranean world, where he encounters shifting landscapes and breaks through them. His objective is to find and consume Banandium Gems, crystalline treasures, scattered throughout this world. He’s accompanied by a younger version of Pauline from “Super Mario Odyssey” and the original “Donkey Kong” arcade games. DK’s mission involves busting through destructible terrains and battling VoidCo., an evil mining corporation, to reach the Banandium Root at the core of the planet. It’s said that whoever retrieves this root will be granted their most heartfelt wish.

Reddit user freakintoddles is one of numerous Nintendo Switch 2 gamers enjoying Donkey Kong Bananza. Enthusiastically captivated, they fashioned a custom Switch 2 dock cover embodying the legendary Donkey Kong franchise. This minimalist design mirrors the wooden barrels prevalent in various Donkey Kong games, with the letters “DK” prominently displayed in red and yellow on the front. The ingenious creator utilized 3D printing to bring this Switch 2 accessory to life, and players can download the necessary files for their own creation from Makerworld.

Donkey Kong Fan Creates Impressive 3D-Printed Switch 2 Dock Cover

Previously mentioned, Donkey Kong Bananza has been a huge success among early Nintendo Switch 2 users, receiving acclaim for its exceptional destruction mechanics and innovative platforming, which add a fresh dimension to Donkey Kong’s latest 3D journey. As one of the initial exclusive games for the Nintendo Switch 2, Donkey Kong Bananza might serve as a benchmark for upcoming Nintendo titles, despite some questioning why it wasn’t launched alongside the Switch 2 like Mario Kart World.

Apart from freakintoddles, many enthusiasts of the game “Donkey Kong Bananza” have endeavored to personalize their Nintendo Switch 2 consoles or games in celebration of DK’s grand return. Recently, an individual attempted to show respect to the N64 version of “Donkey Kong 64” by painting their “Donkey Kong Bananza” game card yellow, but unfortunately, this resulted in the cartridge getting stuck and eventually breaking. Fortunately, freakintoddles’ custom Switch 2 case is far less hazardous, as it is merely a 3D-printed casing that can be easily attached and detached from the Nintendo Switch 2 console dock whenever the player wishes to play more “Donkey Kong Bananza”.
