Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2768 Joined: 18 Sep 2007    | Alright, so when does Nintendo start stamping Wiis with "By Commission of Her Majesty..." and that spiffy royal logo? Y'know, like HP sauce and those cookies? (And Reggie Fils-Amie (sp?) must be pounding his head on his desk even harder now for not ramping up Wii production earlier.) -- Steve |

That would be the best court case EVER. Let's see the Queen star in her own video game. |

Haha. She would crush him with the might of all the commonwelth combind! This is probably the best thing I've read all day. Even if it was "81 year old plays a Wii" I would of loved it, but come on, the Queen of England! |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3754 Joined: 18 Dec 2007   | Now that nintendo has gained control of the Queen of England their plan for world domination is nearly complete. Lol I bet Sony Fanboys will be pissed off that she picked the Wii over the PS3. |

Most people would. It has that Resident Evil game. I would buy it just for that. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 166 Joined: 7 Sep 2007   | Unless she starts playing something along the lines of Metriod Prime 3, this isn't really all that surprising of news. She is, after all, squarely in Nintendo's new core demographic. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3754 Joined: 18 Dec 2007 |
Oh lol, I never realised that Nintendo targets its games for people LIKE the queen. |
Paperboy  Posts: 40 Joined: 15 Nov 2007    | LOL, that's quite funny, but if she likes technology, then she ought to get a real console, or at least the only good game out on Wii, SMG. |

He's got to finish his case with the DOD first |

Muckraker  Posts: 248 Joined: 17 Jun 2008   | So the next time England goes to war, will they blame it on the Wii ? I am sure they will try.. "The Queens judgment has been compromised by the brainwashing effects of computer gaming " |

I would pay to watch that, so long as Her majesty the Queen stomps him! |

On the Record  Posts: 5318 Joined: 10 Aug 2008  | I think it'd be a lot funnier if she started to play more "hardcore" games. Like Mad World, if on Wii... Or shooting games =D I mean, imagine how awesome that'd be. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1581 Joined: 18 Mar 2009    | Well of course, I'd play my Wii more often if it were made out of SOLID FUCKING GOLD! Just wait until she cracks open Brawl...
I think that situation would occur if she had gotten a gold 360, instead of a Wii.. But probably not because of "Brainwashing".. |

Which begs the obvious question: Why did you view this thread in the first place then, when the title was very clear of it's contents? Not to mention the fact your the only one with a negative comment so far so your "98%" theory can be thrown out of the window. |
Beat Writer Posts: 136 Joined: 23 Dec 2008 |
Here's a simple answer for a simple person. I admit, I made up the 98% statistic because looking up the actual figure would have been as pointless as this article and this needless response to your question. All of this begs another obvious question: How many wii/queen fanboys are here? Thank you for your time. |

So you saw the title, knew what the thread was about, and decided you had to troll? Ok, reported. I am British, but do not support the Monarchy so the point you were attempting to make is void. Another point would be that this site is American. So if nobody except British people cared I don't see it being posted on here. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 791 Joined: 27 Mar 2009  | I was wondering why I kept getting killed on COD W@W on the Wii by someone called "The Queen". |

Define "real console," because I'm sure Nintendo, the dictionary, most gamers who are not anti-wii, and perhaps even the Queen would beg to differ on your definition. Also, define "good," because once again that sounds like your opinion and not something the Queen is interested in. Whoever said "Wii are amused," I love you. That is just perfect (And reminds me of that Doctor Who episode). |

What a bizarre necro. Why did you bring this thread back from the grave just to say you didn't care? |

The Queen Plays Wii
According to an article on The People, Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth has become a fan of the Nintendo Wii.
As reported by GamePolitics, the article states that Prince William received one of the popular consoles for Christmas from his girlfriend. According to a Palace source, "He loves his gadgets and boys' toys. So it was the perfect present for him." Unfortunately for him, when his grandmother later saw him playing with the system, she became intrigued.
"When she saw William playing a game after lunch at Sandringham she thought the Nintendo looked tremendous fun and begged to join in," the source said. "She played a simple ten-pin bowling game and by all accounts was a natural. It was hilarious. William was in fits of laughter. He was enormously impressed at having such a cool gran. And although she is 81 the Queen's hand-eye coordination was as good as somebody half her age."
Her use of the Royal Wii is not the Queen's first foray into technology. According to the report, she has kept up with mobile phone technology, owns her own iPod and began making use of a Blackberry in June of this year.
"[William's] only difficulty now is prising it away from the Queen's clutches," the source said. "She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict."
