No, we’re not getting transparent 3DS systems (yet?), that Nintendo
3DS XL model was just a demo unit shown during an Iwata Asks interview.
While talking about the design of the 3DS XL, Miyatake from the design group explained
why the top screen is surrounded by a black frame. This color was
chosen because it emphasizes the stereoscopic 3D effect, but with a
screen as large as the 3DS XL’s you don’t need to have a black frame
anymore.
