These are several DS/DSi console top halves with various internal-use labels. Of note is parts from a 3DS that appears to have been used as part of a microphone tester setup, as well as (probably non-factory) a DS that appears to be from [[Nintendo Software Technology|NST]], a highly defective 3DS which failed numerous factory tests and has the error codes printed on it along with [[Glossary:NG|"NG"]], three DSi XLs with the names "Kin Corn Karn", "Unira", and "Sable Able" printed on them, and a DSi branded with the Nintendo World Store (now Nintendo NY) logo.

A similar device, in what appears to be 4:3 aspect ratio. There's a small possibility this is related to the GameCube's planned 3D LCD, but it's more likely a piece of factory equipment.
