A new Iwata Asks has been released about mostly the Exterior of the 3DS and its mechanical design ideas. Some interesting things you'll learn are why there's a distinct lip on the lid (something I've heard people complain about) as well as the idea behind the different lights for different things. Also, read curiously on as Iwata explains how difficult it was to ensure the two front cameras were idiot and accident proof so they stayed aligned for the length of your ownership.
