They've gone through a lot of editing as you can tell by the images. They wanted to get it just right and the proposal models don't look too bad.

It's come quite a long way when you compare the final product to the other prototypes.

Well I'm glad they're going to use the board we all know now. The others don't look half as smart!

Nice find

 

[knuckles_sonic8]

Yeah, they don't. XD
The last two before the kast one are the best of the bunch imo. Guess they were going for simplicity there and we see that that has carried over to the final model.

It was a NES product called the Roll 'n Rocker. It never became popular, but its basically what the wii balance board is.
