However, this has been rectified a bit. Now that the museum has just started to open, fans have discovered that many prototypes are on display, including the earlier times with the Super Famicom and Virtual Boy, extending into the Wii U era. Some have been shown publicly before, but many have not.<\/p>\n<p>X user FarmboyinJapan was among one of the first people to visit the Nintendo Museum and reported on the prototypes shown \u2013 which are featured at the \u201cStorage\u201d exhibit on the second floor. Unfortunately, no photos were allowed. FarmboyinJapan did take notes on the prototypes though, and we\u2019ve rounded up those tidbits below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prototype Super Famicom with red buttons (this has been shown online previously)<\/li>\n<li>Ultra 64 controller prototypes (they had this label instead of N64); one controller that seemingly had a control stick made out of a shiny metal material and another prototype that only had a center grip; museum also has final clay mold of the completed design of the controller<\/li>\n<li>Prototype GameCube that looks similar to what\u2019s previously appeared online, but this one was a greenish blue color, and was slightly transparent, revealing there were no innards<\/li>\n<li>Prototype GameCube controller similar to a standard GC controller, with the button layout already in place, but much longer grips and the left grip was made out of clear (now yellowed) plastic<\/li>\n<li>Prototype Wii Remotes at the museum which were <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nintendoeverything.com\/wii-controller-prototypes-included-star-shaped-design\/\">previously shown online<\/a><\/strong>, but also unseen ones including one shaped like a fidget spinner with a d-pad and buttons; another looked like a giant d-pad with buttons all over it<\/li>\n<li>Prototype controller that was seemingly the Wii Classic Controller that allowed you to dock it with a Wii Remote; attach the Wii Remote to the middle of the controller<\/li>\n<li>Wii U GamePad prototype, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendoeverything.com\/a-look-at-the-wii-u-gamepads-earliest-prototypes\/\"><strong>previously shown publicly<\/strong><\/a>, is at the museum; has a lot of cables that appeared to be several meters long<\/li>\n<li>Prototype Virtual Boy headset at the museum made out of clear plastic as well as controllers for the hardware made out of styrofoam, with buttons and cables attached<\/li>\n<li>Multiple Game Boy prototypes at the Nintendo Museum, including earliest model that was black with red buttons and layout similar to the original GBA; has \u201cDot Matrix Game\u201d instead of \u201cDot Matrix With Stereo Sound\u201d that the final product has<\/li>\n<li>Another Game Boy prototype that appears to be further along, which was now in the vertical layout we all now know, but it was an all black unit with red buttons; has the phrase \u201cGame Boy Are Protected Widely by Patents\u201d under the screen<\/li>\n<li>One GBA prototype at the museum seems to have been designed to be used one handed; size of a standard GBA Micro but it was instead designed with a vertical layout, has a tiny D-Pad \/ scroll wheel, and buttons<\/li>\n<li>DS prototype with two screens that opened horizontally instead of vertically; D-pads and buttons at either side, which makes it look like an early Switch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, since photos weren\u2019t allowed, you\u2019ll mostly have to use your imagination. However, FarmboyinJapan also drew\u00a0 a few approximations of what the prototypes looked like, which you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FarmboyinJapan\/status\/1841826903805858126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Nintendo Museum is now open in Kyoto, Japan as of this week.
