killer kirby Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 The gadget-loving Queen has become HOOKED on Prince William's new Nintendo Wii games console. William's girlfriend Kate Middleton bought him the £200 gift for Christmas - but he now has to share it with his grandma. A Palace source told The People: "When she saw William playing a game after lunch at Sandringham she thought the Nintendo looked tremendous fun and begged to join in. "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 co-ordination was as good as somebody half her age." The Wii was this Christmas's musthave gift. Players can create their own customised on-screen lookalike - just like our jokey Elizabeth pictured above. Kate, 26 on Wednesday, watched as William, 25, unwrapped the gift at the Royal Family's festive gathering. Our source said: "He loves his gadgets and boys' toys. So it was the perfect present for him. "His only difficulty nowis prising it away from the Queen's clutches. She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict." It's not the first time the Queen has joined the hi-tech revolution. In 2001 she got her first mobile phone and has regularly upgraded to one with the latest features. Her Majesty set up her own email account years ago. In 2005 she took delivery of an iPod that stores more than 100,000 tunes. And last June she added a trendy BlackBerry to her technological armoury - and made sure her senior staff were equipped with them too. full story

Helmsly Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Is a 40-and-a-half year old's hand eye co-ordination something to shout about anyway? I supose it is when you're 80
Shino Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 40 is the new 20s, and apparently 80 are the new 40s. Nice to see a fun new about the British monarchy, it would be super cool if she got her Mii in the Mii contest channel.

I wish old people would stop trying to feel better about themselves and nothinging us cool young folks in the process.
AshMat Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Alright then. Who gives a shit? Seriously, just because she's the queen.
DomJcg Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Another advertisement for the wii, like that iraq wife cheating thingy
Patch Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I wish old people would stop trying to feel better about themselves and nothinging us cool young folks in the process. Yep, if there's one thing I hate, it's being nothinged. Seriously, I bet she loves a bit of Metroid Prime of an evening. Will someone please change the topic title to 'The Qwiin loves to play the Wii'.
