Early Icons
Salmon Run Icons
An early version of the Salmon Icon shown in the menu where you select what mode you want to go to! It's colored to look more like a salmon, unlike the final where it's all one specific color.
The Egg also has an early icon! It has less detail than the final.
Tutorial Icons
Let's start off with an early Joy-Con Grip icon! The Joy-Cons are black, which is exclusive to development kits.
The early Switch icon looked more like a square than the proper shape.
