geoprimedonna Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 What do you guys think about NCLmtd. making a Starfox-themed Happy Meal? They did get the Taco Bell honor, and Big N did it several times, even recently, but, then again, with more familiar characters like Mario and Pokémon. So? Would this "fad" work?

Arashikage Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I don't think it would be a very good business decision honestly, because most of the people who know Starfox are in their 20's, or at least too old for a happy meal. If they bundled them with other Nintendo characters to promote say the new Super Smash Bros or something like that, it might be a bit better of a decision business-wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerMaster5 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Star Fox series has always been aimed at an audience that is too old for Happy Meals. However, I would like to see retail construction sets, like for other games such as Mariokart, Minecraft, Halo, CoD, and Titanfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I don't think it would increase sales for McDonalds or anything but it would be good to attract more people to the franchise this way. But I don't eat McDonalds so I'd miss out either way hahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCPeppyTc Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Until the new game comes out "StarFox" is kind of a stale, moribund franchise ( despite its legions of mostly young adult fans) When the new game comes out and if its good.. well.. who knows?

OneUnder Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 The last Star Fox game came out eight years ago (or nine if you don't count Command). Happy Meals are generally marketed to young children. Surely there is a conflict of interest here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 yeah the only way I could see it working is if it was a Smash Bros thing, where Fox was one of a bunch of Nintendo characters you could get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Power Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think it could work. However it would work better in accordance with something else done at the time. Like other forms of advertising too. Perhaps sending demos to retailers before the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Star Fox game came out eight years ago (or nine if you don't count Command). Happy Meals are generally marketed to young children. Surely there is a conflict of interest here. Well, remember that talk we did about to who Starfox is aimed? That is what made me make this thread. SFXU is comming (please, Miyamoto-san, don't say no!!!!) and I think it's na excelente idea. LCD watches would be a cool prize. I think it could work. However it would work better in accordance with something else done at the time. Like other forms of advertising too. Perhaps sending demos to retailers before the release. Yes. Ditto. *nomnom* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerMaster5 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 There's nothing wrong with not eating McDonalds. Eating too much McDonalds can lead to a variety of health problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giladen Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Star Fox is too much of a mess to get a Happy Meal. Adventures maimed the series, Assault killed the series, Command tried a halfhearted (at best) attempt to give the series an ending if not get it back on track. Hell, when was the last time Sonic had a Happy Meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestalt Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 McDonald's is for McGangBangs and cups of water. yeah the only way I could see it working is if it was a Smash Bros thing, where Fox was one of a bunch of Nintendo characters you could get Considering Fox didn't make the cover of the game nor the cover of the smash edition 3ds xl, WHERE THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM. I wouldn't be surprised if he got left out of that as well. Someone needs to shoddily photoshop Fox on the ssb4 cover while I tape his paper cutout to that 3ds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Knows Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 If they are going to do that they need to coincide it with SF Wii U commercials that way when the kids see the commercial they will ask there parents to buy it it will also give it more exposure that way as more talk tends to lead to more sales Voted Maybe it depends on how they go about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
