Global fast food chain Burger King will supposedly begin selling meals with Wii U toys on October 25th. According to a rumor, the toys will be NFC-integrated and can function with the Wii U GamePad; for example, if the toys are for Nintendo Land, a player can place a toy on the new controller’s NFC reader to unlock exclusive content such as special Mii characters.

Quoted so non-members can see.

Looks very interesting. Even if kids who don't own the console get their hands on one of these toys they may help push their parents to buy one sooner or later. It also helps making the Wii U appear more mainstream and everyday-like.

This... would be great marketing for the Wii U

I could imagine the Pokemon toys having this tech in them.

Oh Jesus no stop they can hear you

I SO wanna try this feature out :B

How cool would it be if they gave out Pokemon like this? I'd totally switch over to BK (I'm a McD guy at the moment )

Man that's such a cool idea! I hope this is true and Nintendo goes through with this!

The last two times Pokemon toys came out McDonald's carried them. I think it would be nice for something like annversary toys for BK with Kirby/Zelda etc which hold minigames for each franchise.

This would be a smart move for Nintendo.

That'd be even cooler!
