Japanese division agrees to deal that lets customers look up facts about their food

Nintendo Japan has struck a deal with McDonalds for a browser branded with the restaurant’s logo available to DS users.

The application connects to a page of McDonald’s news and also has links to current McDonald’s promotions and nutritional information.

According to Siliconera, Nintendo will offer DS demos and a ‘special present for Pikachu’ during May 30th and June 19th.

This isn’t the first time Nintendo made a deal with McDonald’s. The two companies made an agreement to allow DS owners to use their US Wi-Fi service free of charge in 2005.
