With Nintendo's Wii promising to put the "active" back in "interactive entertainment," it's only fitting that the publisher's marketing tie-ins leading up to the console launch should have a similar focus. So for fast-food chain McDonald's current Nintendo-themed promotion, the Big Mac monger is offering one of six freebie "active toys" with its Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals, each one featuring Mario, Donkey Kong, or Yoshi. The toys include a Mario-shaped ball for playing catch, a flying disc, an inflatable Mario Power Tennis mallet with ball, and more.

How about a Nintendo Wii with each Happy Meal?

That would be a really happy meal.
