I wonder if Nintendo actually built the game for McDonalds or if the Nintendo DS was just the platform ...
While this may sound a little silly, building software for corporate training would be a good way to build a small development team (and get them experience) on someone else’s dime. There would be other benefits of this too, most notably that the core focus of software like this would be much different than most videogames; and after completing the design and implementation of a couple of successful projects you would have a very different perspective on interactive entertainment than a conventional videogame developer would.
