Forums - Nintendo - UPDATED w/ PIC-Mario Kart 8 Happy Meals Are Coming!!!

 

Will Mario Kart 8 Happy Meals keep the sales momentum going?

Absolutely! Sheer Genius! 45 40.54%
 
It will definitely do more good than harm. 51 45.95%
 
The bump will be negligible at best. 9 8.11%
 
What's a Happy Meal? 6 5.41%
 
Total:111

Starting July 4th McDonalds will roll out their Mario Kart 8 Happy Meal promotion. There will be 8 Mario Kart themed toys to collect, and my little boy is already bouncing off the walls. I think this the perfect way to keep momentum up throughout the summer for the game. Nintendo May not be to big into advertising anymore, but you can bet your sweet ass you'll see a Happy Meal commercial everytime you turn on the tv! Genius! Do y'all think this will be enough to keep the hype train moving along? 

 

Update: I added a pic of the toys that will come in the Happy Meals. I don't quite know what to think of the visor though :/

 



"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."

I think this could healthily promote mario kart 8
(and probably even mario kart wii)



Why not Bloodborne toys?



Wii Fit toys would be better! :P

not he best choice of words...




In all truthness i dont think it will have too much of an impact, not many go into mcdonalds for a 2 dollar burger and leave wanting a $250 item. Kids are usually satisfied with just the toy, so it may be healthy for mario and nintendo brand but not much more than that.

NA for sure. Not sure about Europe. I learned about it in an email directly from Nintendo. I'll see if I can find out...
