24K gold plated Nintendo Wii made for Queen of England now on sale for $300,000

The world of vintage games and consoles is no stranger to huge price tags. A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros was recently auctioned for a massive $660,000 price, making it the most expensive game ever sold. Now a new 24-karat gold Nintendo Wii console is ready to be sold for a price of $300,000.

The 24-karat gold Nintendo Wii console was originally made for the Royal Family, more specifically, for the Queen of England. The custom-made console was part of THQ’s PR efforts to promote multiplayer party title Big Family Games back in 2009.

However, the console never actually reached the Queen of England due to strict security protocols at Buckingham Palace. After being returned to THQ the console was purchased by a collector and is now up for sale on eBay with a royal price tag of $300,000.
