America's next McDonalds Happy Meal toy is Pokemon

Recently a number of Nintendo-loving European gamers noticed their belts weren't quite reaching their usual notch.

The reason was the introduction of Super Mario toys in Happy Meals, causing many Mario-loving types to snarf their way through numerous burgers to collect them all.

I wonder who's paying who for this deal. Surely McD's is paying Nintendo here!

LOL_WUT3705d ago

Could be the other way unless there was a movie being made probably just for brand awareness. If I remember correctly even Nintendo gave out a free copy of X or Y to potential 3DS buyers as an incentive. ;)

Majin-vegeta3705d ago

Well I collected all the gold plated card from BK from the first pokemon movie.Time to hit up MCD'S :p

mkis0073704d ago

Should bring that back...would be great for nintendo, considering the position they are in.

randomass1713704d ago

If they ever do a Skylanders type game with Pokemon, they should totally sell some toys for powerups or even characters through McDonald's as a promotion to get the game started. Maybe even include a download code for an exclusive demo? I don't know, I think it would be neat.

Mankey3704d ago

Good times, good times. Everyone had an extra Jigglypuff back then.

Clown_Syndr0me3704d ago

Most kids I know don't know what pokemon is anymore. I'm in UK don't know how it is in US.

SamPao3704d ago

Hmm here eveyvody knows about pokemon

randomass1713704d ago

@Clown I get the feeling that the kids in your area make up a silent minority. Pokemon is still super popular globally.

MasterCornholio3704d ago

Gotta eat them all.

Parap pa pa pa I'm loving it.

Welp, Now Nintendo's Going After Sheet Music

It should come as no surprise that Nintendo is pretty protective regarding its IP. Going after emulators, ROM hacks, and reproductions is one thing, but it looks like the firm is starting to aim its sights on something rather surprising: sheet music.

Could care less. I use consoles to play games not for social media.

Cacabunga7d ago

Social garbage should be abandoned altogether.. the world is stupid since these things got introduced

senorfartcushion7d ago

I would say YouTube was more to blame for this weird unrest we are seeing at the minute. That platform has given license to some of the stupidest people to build advice channels for kids growing through their formative learning years. It's no wonder there are so many incels around.

z2g7d ago

The world was stupid before that. Social media just let you see it.

It’s for posting content like game captures, not responding to your boo’s pool pictures.

But F twitter anyway

CrashMania7d ago

And nothing of value was lost, that site is a cesspit.

purple1017d ago (Edited 7d ago )

correction, was a cesspit,

now more of just a swamp / everglades / marshland

gold_drake7d ago

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H929d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX29d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H929d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro29d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos28d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8829d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk7729d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos29d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris29d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
