We saw it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/mario-kart-world\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mario Kart World<\/a> physical release, and DK&#8217;s new release also has artwork on this side of the case.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an image of Donkey Kong and Pauline taking a break from their new adventure. You might have seen this artwork in some other promotional materials before now. Although there&#8217;s no Switch 2 branding, you can still swap it to the front side of the case. Here&#8217;s a look, courtesy of <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jake_Randall_YT\" rel=\"nofollow\">YouTuber Jake Randall<\/a> on social media:<\/p>\n<p>Donkey Kong Bananza inside cover art  \ud83e\udd8d\ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udf4c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2fznUGUNTQ\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/2fznUGUNTQ<\/a>\u2014 Jake Randall (@Jake_Randall_YT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jake_Randall_YT\/status\/1945836588509868085?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, if you haven&#8217;t already got a physical version of Donkey Kong Bananza, or just don&#8217;t plan on getting a hard copy of the game, this is what it looks like when you open the case! Nintendo also did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2021\/09\/heres_a_first_look_inside_metroid_dreads_nintendo_switch_game_case\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">similar full spread shots like this<\/a> on some box arts during the Switch generation.<\/p>\n<p>As for the rest of the DK physical release, the game card (which includes the entire game on the card) features the same artwork as Banaza&#8217;s front cover featuring DK and Pauline. And the <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BoTalksGames\/status\/1943776059562070078\" rel=\"nofollow\">back of the case<\/a> shows off some more artwork of DK, while also highlighting some other aspects of the game.<\/p>\n<p>All of this has got us wondering if our community has picked up this new Switch 2 release physically or if they purchased the game digitally via the eShop?
