If you’ve got a couple of bananas and you’re near London this weekend, then you might just be able to swap them for a copy of Donky Kong Country Returns, if you’re fast enough. In front of bewildered shoppers, Game and GameStation are challenging you to present a bunch of bananas as payment for Donky Kong Country Returns for the Wii. The first 20 people to roll up with fruit in their wallets instead of the £45 asking price will get free copies. The dare starts at 9am on Friday at Game Oxford Street, Merry Hill Dudley, and from 8am at GameStation in Hull.
Show us your banana money! Send us a pic on the Electricpig Facebook page if you go to claim your free copy!

No sooner did that bombshell drop than a third-party iPhone game controller dutifully showed up. Behold the frankly weird looking GameBone Pro controller, which aims to bring six buttons and an 8-way direction pad to your Apple handset.
