ffs the british monarchy are nothing more than a tourist attraction, a waste of space and money, get rid of the royal family and turn the various homes they have in to hotels or something.

Holy crap, that is an incredibly l33t and pimped-out gift. A gold-plated Wii? Now I've seen everything. [/barely manages to stop self from (mis)quoting Yahtzee saying a turd covered in gold is still a turd]

Royal Wii seems quite a cool marketing concept and the Royal Family games thing. Actually looks quite nifty too

"Big Family Games is the ultimate Wii game to get all family members, from grandparents to young children, playing together. 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 THQ's Danielle 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!"
Right, because apparently, Big Family Games is the hottest piece of shovelware out on the market today, and we're sure that the Royal Family can enjoy the hunk of shit game because of their naivety.

Fuck You Nintendo and what you have done to the game industry.

My brain is still trying to process this equation.

Queen+Wii+GOLD!!!+Shovelware=Good marketing move?!

CANNOT COMPUTE, INSANITY OVERLOAD. WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN 10 SECONDS.

That was close. The world almost lost another person who's more sane than the loony marketing people of everywhere.

...Does anyone actually believe these people know their asses from their elbows, or do the bosses all just humor 'em in the hopes that the end result will serve their purposes inadvertently...? How often do we see an ad that actually says what something is and why you would buy it, rather than trying to set a completely unrelated mood and then showering us with fake-smiling bullplop a-go-go?

Woulden't a Gold Plated Wii get insanely hot?
I guess it's a small price to pay because the thing is FREAKING GOLD!

Personally, I think ol' Liz would prefer a rousing game of Manhunt 2 on her Wii, but that's just me.

No doubt the Princelings will take up the gauntlet though and use the Wii more than Her Majesty.

On the plus side, hundreds of years from now when there's a museum dedicated to the monarchs of the 20th and 21st century, there will be a gaming console in the display.
