McDonald’s had a SECRET Nintendo DS game?! 🍔🎮 And it wasn't made for customers — it was used to train McDonald's employees in Japan!
Back in 2010, McDonald's Japan turned to the Nintendo DS to help train restaurant workers using interactive software called eCDP (eCrew Development Program).
But this wasn't your typical Nintendo DS game. You weren't rescuing Princess Peach or battling Bowser. You were learning how to prepare food, serve customers and work in a McDonald's restaurant!
Even stranger? This bizarre piece of Nintendo history was never sold to the public, became incredibly difficult to find, and remained largely inaccessible to gamers for years.
That is, until a copy of the software was preserved and shared online in 2020!
In this episode of Super Mayhem, we're exploring the strange story of McDonald's Nintendo DS training software, why it existed, what it was like to play, and how it became a fascinating piece of lost gaming history.
