Does a tweet from one of Pachter's fans give a glimpse into a Wii U promotion?

Burger King might be offering Wii U toys starting on October 25, according to a rumor discussed by Game Industry Analyst Michael Pachter on a recent episode of Pach Attack.

There is also speculation that these Burger King toys could include some sort of NFC (near-field communication) capabilities, making use of a little-discussed feature of the Wii U GamePad.

There will also be a Kid Icarus tournament to play in and Paper Mario stickers to collect.

The Wii U and a slew of 3DS games will be playable at PAX Prime in Seattle this week, according to Nintendo.

At their booth (#462), players can check out the Wii U in what, we assume, will be the E3 2012 demos of those games, which include New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, and more.

Developers will be able to use this rendering tool.
