A Nintendo 3DS XL with transparent casing. Sadly it’s just a demo system, brought out in the latest Japanese edition of Iwata Asks to show off the big handheld’s innards.

I can’t imagine Nintendo actually releasing a 3DS model like this – as it did with the clear Game Boy back in the day – but maybe DealExtreme will sell a transparent shell that you can slap on your system in a couple of years.

Speaking of the 3DS XL, there’s an online “pub quiz” at 3DS Buzz where you (or your gaming site, if you have one) will have a chance to win the system tomorrow!
