Video Daily: The McDonalds Nintendo DSiDVDBack23 @ Apr 19, 2010 19:29 | 8 comments
There are two DSi units for every McDonald's restaurant in Japan, all 3700 of them.
The giant fast food company says the handhelds cut training time in half, at the same time giving new employees a more interactive way to learn the business.
Collaborations between the two companies is not new, with Nintendo loaning out Mario in the late 80s for McDonald's ads.
The following video is from Bloomberg and shows off the training software in action.

Comment by: bam431 (Apr 20, 2010 15:20) Thats a cool idea. Is it like a game where you put lettuce and stuff on a burger in a time limit, because I remember playing a game where you had to do that with pizzas. It was kinda fun considering.
This could be anywhere This could be everywhere
