Game News - The Queen of England: the 81-year old Wii gamer

You won't even guess what a high-tech queen English have!

So, Her Majesty Queen Mary is now the proud owner of a mobile phone (d'oh...) which she updates regularly since 2001, but she is also in possession of an iPod capable of storing about 100,000 songs and a BlackBerry (for the e-mail account she set up years ago...).

But the most surprising thing is that she has literally become addicted to the Nintendo Wii, after watching her nephew play some virtual bowling.

Reports indicate that Kate Middleton had offered Prince William a Wii console (Wii-William...anybody?) as a Christmas present, but William's inquisitive grandmother spotted him messing around with, well... his Wii and wanted to share the fun. Now William's greatest problem is to get his console back from his royal relative's hands...

Sources quoted by multiple British magazines indicate that "[the Queen] showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict," and that "although she is 81 the Queen's hand-eye co-ordination was as good as somebody half her age."

As hard-core Wii gamers ourselves, we kindly and respectfully offer Prince William one advice: don't let her grab the Nunchuck dude! Just don't let her touch that piece of hardware ok? Hold on to that Wii-strap and you'll be fine...

(And stop your "the Queen of England plays with her Wii" ironies, 'aight? We could've written that ourselves in the title, but hey, show some respect to a fellow gamer...) ;)
