The Nintendo Wii will be promoted on 182 million packs of Fanta, Sprite and Dr. Pepper thanks to a marketing partnership with soft drink monsters Coca-Cola. The campaign is set to run across TV and other media for around a month and is sure to help push Nintendo's console further into the mainstream.
The promotion will include ten 'ultimate Wii games rooms' will be given away every day, which include a Wii, Samsung LCD TV, mini fridge and a case of Sprite, Fanta and Dr. Pepper.
“It is a classic on-pack promotion,” Nintendo UK marketing director Dawn Paine told MCV. “There will be a website and a very heavy TV advertising campaign, which will run on terrestrial channels. There’s going to be over a million pounds of investment.”
It's so refreshing to see the Wii getting that real push it deserves, something past Nintendo consoles have really lacked.
Look out for the adverts soon.

How ironic that the Wii - currently famed for promoting 'healthy gaming' - should be lumped with such an unhealthy drink.
True, aren't there laws that stop unhealthy products being promoted to children?
Woah, when did I become such an adult!?
