@Senario Given Nintendo's family-friendly image, this is not a positive move for them, especially when gaming comes under fire for encouraging people to be less active and thus less healthy. The Wii was a positive step in this sense, but endorsements like this are a negative one.
I was not telling people what to eat (if animals have to suffer terribly for your enjoyment that's on your conscience, not mine), I was just pointing out that I am unhappy that a company I have supported over the years (Nintendo) is in turn supporting and encouraging people to support a company I detest (McDonalds).
@SCAR392 Yes, I know of them firstly because of South Park and secondly because they have restaurants here in London. I have not checked out their menu yet, but I agree it would be great to see some tofu there. There's a Mexican-style restaurant chain in Germany called Delores which have some fantastic vegan options which include tofu.
@SCAR392 That's great to hear you are trying to avoid such products. There are many local, national and international groups of vegans that support each other and share ideas on cruelty-free (and affordable) alternatives. http://www.happycow.net/ for example is a useful website for finding out where you can find vegan restaurants and places with good vegan options. Whereabouts are you from?
@nesvc That's true, but nonetheless this promotion will encourage both adults and children to spend money on McDonalds products, which is ultimately bad for them (and worse for the animals they eat). I choose not to support the deplorable meat, dairy and egg industries so I only eat foods that contain no animal products. As a gaming enthusiast, I am sad to see Nintendo support them.
It's sad to see Nintendo (and Nintendolife) support a company that benefits from encouraging children (and adults) to eat unhealthy, processed foods (that animals have suffered terribly to provide).
What a great launch line-up the Gamecube had: Super Monkey Ball, Wave Race Blue Storm, Rogue Leader... no wonder it was the first console I had on day one : D
It's the latest game in the long-running Runabout series. As a fan of the genre and series, this is in fact the 3DS game I am looking forward to the most. The previous entry, Runabout 3 Neo Age on PS2, is basically the Earth Defense Force of mission-based driving games.

@WaveBoy It's easy to find sufficient protein and omega 3 etc., but thank you for your concern.

No, I comfortably meet all my RDAs.

Re: Korg M01D Music Synthesizer App Delayed in Japan
This is going to be amazing! I felt like I hit a ceiling with what was possible with the DS-10 (after a good few years) so I can't wait for this!
Re: Crash City Mayhem Hits the 3DS eShop in Europe on 9th May
This is fantastic news... it's time to cancel my retail pre-order!
@julienpoo Where did you see that Climax didn't develop it? The original press coverage said that Climax is the developer:
e.g. http://www.1up.com/news/runabout-series-revived-3ds
And Gamespot list Climax as the developer, and Rocket Company as the publisher:
