In 'Splatoon 3,' gamers 'memorialize' Queen Elizabeth II with memes

Another Splatoon player was spotted with a text box that read "first Nintendo game the queen doesn't see." Elizabeth II was reportedly a big Nintendo fan, according to The Daily Mirror. The queen received a Nintendo Wii in 2008 as a gift from Catherine, Princess of Wales (then Kate Middleton) after Catherine observed the queen delightfully playing Prince William's Wii. Game publisher THQ even attempted to court the queen's favor by sending a gold-plated Wii to Buckingham Palace as part of a marketing campaign.
