Hi. My name is Donny from Consolevariations.com , some of you may know me from the collecting scene or as the owner of the:

The History:

This item has been in my possession for quite some time now. In 2009 THQ made a promo item for the Queen of the England and created the by now world famous 24 Karat golden Nintendo Wii console.

Several press articles have been released:

In 2017 I was lucky enough to buy this Wii. However, I kept it very low profile for 2 years. Then, in 2019 the producers from “People Make Games” investigated and came to interview me regarding the golden Wii. The announcement, that this famous lost console was found caused a massive media reaction:

and many more…

 

The console was mentioned in a ton of press articles, and got over 2 million views on YouTube so far.

Very soon the console will also be highlighted in a documentary as well. It will be announced later this year.

I have documents and emails of its possible authentication. Furthermore, a separate authentication including serial number and signatures will be issued by the experts of consolevariations.com. All the documentations will be framed.

 

Condition:

The console is in working condition, the username is "THQ" and it's on the 3.2E Firmware.

The Wii Console itself is good condition, no heavy use is found, due it's light reflections there are some minor mentions:

The bottom of the serial number is very slightly covered with the red fabric it was displayed on by THQ. This may not be considered a flaw, rather a nostalgic part of the console. However, it should be mentioned.

The Wii-mote has some wear on the bottom. My guess is that it was actually used at one point.

The pillow is a replica. I will include this with the console for display purposes.

 

Shipping:

Due its price, a special packaging company will be involved for the perfect packaging, the framed documents will be packed securely and scanned digitally only for the buyer. (Serial number is blurred in auction)

Shipping will be fully insured, tracked, and it will be sent with the highest priority. From door to door with an exclusive carrier service
