Japanese McDonald's to Distribute 3DS DLC

Since there isn't too much in news today, I got a little quickie. Kotaku has intepreted a report from the Japanese gaming giant Famitsu that the Japanese branch of McDonald's will start distributing digital content for the 3DS and DS at its resturaunts. The 3DS will get exclusive DLC for the game Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 (the sequel to the DS game that was released in the States as Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime), and both DS and 3DS users will get the exclusive game McDonald's Slime Ship Battle DX. The DLC for Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 will be released over 4 weeks in 4 parts, and completing the Slime Ship Battle game will net the player a reusable (1-day) coupon for burgers and drinks.

Certainly this is better than your average Happy Meal

I don't know if Japan's McDonald's have Nintendo Zone support (but they probably do like the ones in the United States), but his sort of thing is pretty cool. Since Dragon Quest is pretty big in Japan, maybe we will see some Pokémon DLC down the line at our McDonald's or some other Nintendo Zone location.
