The Royal Wii
May 25, 2009 by Insider Staff
The Queen has been delivered a special gold-plated Nintendo Wii to promote THQ’s new BIG Family Games. “BIG Family Games is the ultimate Wii game to get all family members, from grandparents to young children, playing together,” said Danielle Robinson, THQ Product Manager.
“The Royal Family is arguably the most important family in the country so we felt that they had to have a copy of the new game,” said Robinson. “But we thought that Her Majesty the Queen wouldn’t want to play on any old console, so an extra-special gold one was commissioned. We hope that she and the rest of the Royal Family enjoy the game!”
The game features 24 family games including lawn darts, ladder golf and Bocce. But how likely is it that Her Majesty will have a go? She does already own a Blackberry, iPod and 50MBps Virgin broadband. It’s a wonder she’s not on Twitter (perhaps she already is)…
