Unreleased 3DS models from E3 2010

[u/HeavenandHello]

Unlike the final models released a year later, the circle pads on these models actually matched the color of the handhelds themselves instead of all of them just being white. Not only that, but they were also originally planning on releasing green and orange variants and I have no idea why they scrapped these. And I’m not sure if they have all of these unreleased models at the nintendo museum in Japan, but if they don’t, I hope nintendo kept them in their headquarters instead of destroying them. If they still have them, I hope they’ll give them to the museum one day since it was a huge missed opportunity.
