A group who has dedicated itself to preservin🥃g Nintendo's history has managed to acquire an early development prototype of the Ninten💮do Switch.

The developer console, which is from 2016, pre-dates the release of the retail Nintendo Switch by almost one year. Sharing the news on Twitter, said that it had obtaineꦓd the devkit from a seller in Hong Kong.

As you can see in the images above, the Switch has no home menu, nor the Joy-Cons we're all used to. This is because this unit would be solely used for running tests and development tools. Interesting🔥ly, on the console's firmware screen you can see that it is called "NX", which means that this was the codename for the Switch before it was given its official name.

Fores꧑t of Illusion said that it only managed to get 🐻ahold of this version thanks to another Nintendo historian group, known on Twitter as .

With this acquisition, Forest of Illusions has confirmed that this is the earliest version of the Nintendo Switch model to be found so far, dating all the way back to April 2016. To put that date into perspective, Nintendo o♏fficially released its Switch console on March 3, 2017.

Forest mentioned on Twitter that it wouldn't be publicly releasing any of the data found on the console, tweeting "the data (factory test files) cannot be released since it's too recent, but all of the files have been backed up safely and the system has been sent to som🦂eone for safekeeping. Some other things of note are the different screws, volume buttons, and it being referred to as DPRD".

In terms of any significan꧒t discoveries, there wasn't all too much to be discerned from this early prototype. Thankfully, it seems like Forest of Illusion is being incredibly responsible with this developer Switch; considering it's probably something Nintendo doesn't exactly want people getting their hands on.

They'd probably struggle to run on this prototype, but here are some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Nintendo Switch games.
