I love the King and all, but what could his game be about? Sneaking into people's beds without waking them and leaving sandwiches behind? Actually, that does sound kinda fun...

From whar I understand, there's going to be THREE games. A fighting game, a racing game, and an FPS.

I liked Cool Spot when I was younger, same with the McKid game for the NES. I remember renting the NES one a lot when I was younger, but I haven't found it anywhere recently, so I'm not sure if it's as good as I remember, but I do have fond memories of it.

I liked Cool Spot, it was a fairly fun game and I used to play it over at Spanky McCracken's house all the time. Yo! Noid wasn't bad either.
But my favorite product placement game was Chex Quest. Chex Quest was a PG DOOM mod that replaced the chainsaw with a power spork and other such silliness. It was good times. The funny part is that since it was just a DOOM mod, the game ran from a batch file that replaced DOOM's WAD with its own. So you actually got a playable version of DOOM on the Chex Quest CD. I think it was just the shareware version though, damned if I can actually find the CD.

Yes! Yes, I had Chex Quest! It was a pretty cool considering you got it free from a cereal box.

I vaguely remember playing a Chester Cheetah game at my friend's house a lot and really enjoying it. I got into a fight with him because he wouldn't take turns and let me play. All I really remember about the actual itself really was that you could pick up an electric guitar or something, and it did something good...

For the record, I am not against Mascots, advertising icons, or logos having their own video games. If xXx can score a deal, why not the Noid or the Walmart smiley face?

Oh, hey, what have we here?
Yes, I've got Chex Quest 1 and 2, the .wad files. I'm that big of a loser! Hahahaha.
On the topic of the Burger King, the boxing game looks awesome.

So the BK fighting game is a boxing game? That would explain why the King is an unlockable trainer in fight Night Round 3 (Fucking hilarious, btw)

There was also a game only for Japan, where you get to control Ronald McDonald accross McDonaldland. It is not related to the M.C. Kids games. I kinda loved the M.C. Kids game from the NES, but it was to freakingly hard!
Oh and another thing, the YoNoid game was originally a game about some ninja in Japan; but when it was brought over to western audiences; they replaced the Ninja for the Noid.
Hey at least there has not been a game on the Taco Bell chihuahua.

I wish they made a game staring the Hamburguler. I miss Cool spot who would have been just perfect but they had to change 7up. Cool Spot games was kinda fun and had a refreshing look.
So this game is going to have Kid Video who is like what now?
