Can’t quite believe how ass this stunt is, but I guess it has worked, because I’m writing about it like a sucker.  So for the promotion of Big Family Games, THQ are delivering Queen Elizabeth II a gold-plated Wii.  Presumably THQ typed the words “royal” and “classy” into their supercomputer and the result “put gold all over it” came out.  Find out more after the jump.

“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 product manager 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!”

Yea, I bet they’ll be all over it.  Might has well have sent her a Hello Kitty pencil case.  In exchange for all that publicity let me just balance things out by saying Big Family Games looks absolutely terrible, and I hear you can play awesome games like “divorce”, “drunken stepdad” and “so I dropped out of college”.  (Lawyers, I jest.  I’m sure the game is loads of fun.)
