Even the Royal Family have a Wii!

Unfortunately for European retailers the Royal Family were given a special version by gaming company THQ.

'Special Version' we hear you scream?! Yes, the Queen's 'Royal' Wii is gold-plated as plain white just wouldn't look right in Buckingham Palace! N-Europe understands that THQ is hopeful that the PR stunt "will amuse Queen Elizabeth."

Clearly a promotional stunt, Geek.com has stated that the gift is purely a means to build awareness for the upcoming game, Big Family Games. As Geek.com puts it, "for a game that is meant to include the whole family from kids to grandparents what better family to send it to than The Royal Family in England." N-E agrees as we struggle to think of a bigger family...

Surprisingly, Big Family Games is NOT about The Royal Family yet is a 'rare' collection of mini-games, including golf, tennis, ladder golf, lawn darts, horseshoes, bocce, and more. Clearly this title is deserving of any royal association - afterall, the Royal Family are well known for settling down to a nice game of horseshoes in the palace gardens.
