Already the recipient of Presidential iPods and box-set DVDs (non-PAL region), the world's most famous monarch can now claim her stake on yet another popular digital past-time- videogames. Specifically, a gold-plated Nintendo Wii, courtesy of publisher THQwhich hopes to lure Her Majesty and her own extended family into a few endless nights of waggle-induced fun.

Encased in gold and accompanied by a copy of the company's latest family-friend release, BIG Family Games, appropriately enough. So says THQ product manager Danielle Robinson of the royal present:

QUOTE said:

"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 Queen can now claim to be the second-most popular world figure to house Nintendo's ubiquitous console, right after US President Barack Obama snatched one up for the White House soon after taking power. No word yet on whether the Queen and First Lady Michelle Obama will continue their burgeoning friendship via a few fast-paced games of Mario Kart Onlinehttp://www.popzara.com/pages/405/http://www.popzara.com/pages/405/http://www.popzara.com/pages/405/, but we'll certainly keep you posted! Cheers!

They gave the Queen shovelware, absolutely disrespectful.

How could they do such a thing?

Give the Queen a quality game such as Mario, Wii Sports, or Legend of Zelda

Gold? Not platinum?

It goes to show you that even in these hard economic times, the Queen must settle for less.

It would have been better giving it to someone who actually deserved it.

LMFAO I love how they give the queen shovelware.

If they made a wave-at-the-plebs simulator for her she'd never have to leave the house. Philip could have a servant beating game to remind him of the good old days.

I wonder if the Queen will actually play/use her "pimped out" Wii even if she did receive shovelware with it

triassic911 · May 22, 2009

She should put it on ebay. The gold does nothing to improve the gaming experience. Seriously, the gold will probably affect the wifi.

Awesome. No time like a financial rating downgrade and deep recession amidst major job losses to announce to the world that one is a wasteful twit.

Good work.

UltraMagnus · May 22, 2009

its only gold plated...

cheapass fucking yanks

Domination · May 22, 2009

They could have given along with the wii, a gold plated DSi with improved cameras and Drawn to Life. Her Majesty must feel insulted by the shovelware..... But then the president of my country don't even get things like this.....

skawo96 · May 22, 2009

Lol, I wonder...old lady playing Brawl...

BlueStar · May 22, 2009

There hasn't been a Queen of England since 1707, so I'm pretty sure that's not who got the Wii.

jalaneme · May 22, 2009

lol they should give a Wii to gordon brown next but give him a very shit game like Wii fit and a balance board that takes his huge weight.

kobykaan · May 22, 2009

they gave the wrong game should of been either of these two

or better still ..

tbh I think its just SELF PUBLICITY for THQ!

edit stupid lame image hosts

imz · May 22, 2009

Michelle Obama and the queen should exchange friend codes

Doesn't the game still have a 330lbs limit?
