This is more a McDonalds move rather than Nintendo. When something is hot with their preferred target population (kids), McDonalds will get the rights to create the little toys for their happy meal.

No Rosalina? No thanks :P

No Rosalina? :(

Anyway, this is a good way to keep exposure and momentum going, from kids getting the toys, when the eat there, to the the load of Happy Meals commercials, that go on daily. Be it a move from Nintendo or McDonald, it is a good move, since both sides, will get more sales.

This is a big deal. First kids today are collectors of everything. So are half the adults out there and they will want all of these toys. Second this is how grandparents figure out what to get kids for Christmas, birthdays and stuff like that.

You can't see the opening that Nintendo is exploiting and how Sony and others are missing it. There aren't a hundred videos of dads singing "Let it Go" with little girls by accident. It is out there. There is a huge demo not being addressed and it is Nintendo's to grab and keep.

"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
