Wendy's and Nintendo team up to give away more than just cheap toys

We figured the Wii-themed toys that Wendy's were giving away would be the last we've heard of the union between the two, then Jack Thompson comes in and tries to go after the fast-food chain. Now, the two have come back together as Wendy's and Nintendo announced a promotion to give purchasers of the new Vanilla Frosty Float a chance at winning a free Wii and other prizes. The two have come together to give away a total of 800 systems, placing a code on each cup of the ordered treat that can be taken to this website and input for the chance to win a free system, or other prizes that include Wii Points cards and games. This new promotion is planned to be advertised in-stores, as well as through national advertising, presumably through radio, television and print. The promotion will run from now until June 30th, which doesn't give your chances of winning much time.

The contest also includes 800 Wii Points Cards and 800 Wii games (from sponsors like Mario Party 8.) There's an alternate method for a free code (limit five per day.)

To my Canadian friends, nintendo and wendy's pulled a "europe" on us and we can't join in on the fun :(

Didn't you just say they WEREN'T giving away cheap toys?
And yet, this is a Wii giveaway...
Don't worry, I'm just joking.

You might want to find an actual "Forsty Float" picture. You can't get a code from a normal Frosty like the one pictured.
