MIAMI - (Business Wire) - Oct. 22, 2012 - Burger King® restaurants are giving guests the chance to own a Wii U™ system, the exciting new gaming and entertainment system from Nintendo that launches on Nov. 18. Beginning today, Burger King® guests can visit participating restaurants or BK.com/WiiU to learn more about how to enter for a chance to win. As part of the Burger King® Wii U Instant Win Game*, BK® guests can go online to play a game, which will utilize information found on their guest receipt.

There’s also a contest just for young guests who enjoy a challenge.

At approximately 7,400 participating Burger King® restaurant locations in the U.S., guests will receive a Nintendo-themed toy with the purchase of a Kids Meal during the promotional period.
