Nintendo to offer free online games at McDonald's stores in U.S.

Send to a friendPrint

Thursday, October 20, 2005 at 02:00 JST
TOKYO — Nintendo Co said Wednesday that Nintendo DS mobile game console users can access its wireless gaming services free of charge at nearly 6,000 McDonald's restaurants across the United States, starting Nov 14.

Nintendo has signed an agreement with Wayport Inc for the free services. Wayport's Wi-Fi high-speed wireless Internet access service will be extended to Nintendo DS users at the hamburger restaurants. When a user brings a Nintendo DS unit and a Wi-Fi-enabled game into a McDonald's restaurant where the Wi-Fi service is available, the user simply launches the game in Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection mode, Nintendo said.

Very nice IMO, though it's only for American restaurants.

Oh. Im sure there will be thousands in Europe. Mostly bigger cities will have it though. Not every one of the millions of McDonalds will use it.

I would say if your city has more then 30,000 people the resturants will have it.

No plans have been made for Europe (yet).

Count yourself lucky, you're being spared.

I don't own a DS anyway. They're crap. Just another attempt for Nintendo to innovate ("omfFGG TWO SCReeNZ TH1S IZ POoNAg3!") and failure to actually make it functionable *cough*Revolution Controller*uncough*.

Yeah you always like the have to same things Nintendo makes now 5 years later because MS and Sony copied Nintendo.

You probably thought the analog 360° stick from Nintendo was bs too.

k well that's all well and good, but please, stop the fanboyness. 0bv you have a stick up you're ass right now because Nintendo is trying to change gaming to make it better, so maybe take some Morphine and calm the hell down a bit.

If you really hate Nintendo so much, don't bother with it. Seriously, the Rev will have GC controller compatability anyway, so who cares? Nintendo is a great company, but they have too many crazy, retarded fanboys and too many dumbasses who think they know everything and bash it for trying something new. "Omg new Zelda!" "Lol contrlle si crp lol"

Nobody cares.

Looks like Snakker's post really convinced you.
