Nintendo Wii: Good Enough for Royalty

Forgive me for not posting on anyone particularly sexy today but it’s not everyday that the Queen of England discovers the remarkable joy of Nintendo. According to British newspaper, “The People,” her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has taken over sexy Prince William’s Christmas present: A bright & shiny new Nintendo Wii (he’s going to inherit Britain, but the Wii just sweetens the deal! And BY THE WAY, if William got a Wii, I’m sure Harry got one too because they’re so rich that surely “sharing” isn’t in their vocabulary).

Ok, so anyway… how Her Majesty has avoided original Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and Game Cube is astounding… yet in 2008 at the age of 81 she has decided to join the world of hard core gaming (ok, not really but we can pretend for now). I guess 8 bit Mario just doesn’t have the same panache as 3D “live action” boxing matches. Not to mention you can customize characters so she could be pretending to knock out the late Princess Di (oh, my gosh! I said it, let’s move on).

Just the idea of anyone’s grandmother picking up the Wii is asinine. Why pick up a video game console where you have to move around when for the last 20 years you’ve had plenty of gaming choices where you could park your butt on a couch and have your thumbs control all the action? Yes, yes… you can move around… it’s 3D… blah blah. Give any 80 year old the choice to fall asleep while watching reruns of “Murder She Wrote” or run around the room… uh… choice is clear. I’m just saying… she’s one zany granny!
