Hi. My name is Donny from Consolevariations.com , some of you may know me from the collecting scene or
as the owner of the: 24 Karat Golden Nintendo Wii that was made for Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. The Interview: https://consolevariations.com/blog/the-24-karat-queens-golden-wii-is-for-sale 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: https://kotaku.com/the-queen-of-englands-gold-plated-wii-5264383 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/queen-gets-gold-plated-wii/ https://www.theregister.com/2009/05/21/golden_wii_queen/ 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvChVZjgV3k https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/random_what_ever_happened_to_the_queens_golden_wii https://www.polygon.com/wii/2019/1/19/18189516/golden-wii-queen-elizabeth-thq-video https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-01-17-thq-once-made-a-golden-nintendo-wii-for-the-queen https://www.kotaku.com.au/2019/01/the-queens-golden-wii-has-been-found/ https://gamerant.com/queen-elizabeth-gold-wii/ https://www.dualshockers.com/whatever-happened-to-that-golden-wii-thq-tried-to-send-to-the-queen-of-england/ 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 If you have any questions feel free to ask
