FIRST 3DS FIRMWARE UPDATE DETAILED?
3DS gets a shop, well shortly...

Posted by boyo on May 11, 2011 20:06 (May 11, 2011 20:06)

So Nintendo have released details of it's upcoming patch on the 3DS. And here are the new features on offer:
  • Nintendo eShop
  • 3DS Ware - Rockman Dash 3 Prologue (200 yen), Petitcom (800 yen)
  • DSi Ware - import DSi Ware from DSi to 3DS
  • 3D Classic - classic titles in 3D, Excitebike, Legend of Zelda and Xevious will be available
  • Virtual Console GameBoy - Ikari no Yousai, Phantasm
  • Virtual Console Game Gear - Sonic & Tails 2, Sonic Drift 2, Dragon Crystal, Columns
  • Virtual Console GameBoy Color - Super Mario Land, The Legend of Zelda DX (Demo)
  • Virtual Console PC Engine - games TBA
  • Demos - 3D Video Player, 3D Game Trailer/Previews Channel, Fuji TV and Nippon TV Previews

The brighter amongst you may quickly realise there is an omission to the initial promises the update would bring. Anyone....

Well I will tell you - the inclusion of a Browser to surf the net. This in my opinion is not a deal breaker with this patch - using a browser on the standard is a little bit clunky.

This update should empower the 3DS - it's a shame we don't know exactly the day this going to land.

By the way, mine is the blue one - what colour is yours?

That rumour about Nintendo bricking consoles remotely seems very unlikely to me. For it to be legal then Nintendo would have to change the status of the purchase to a lease where they have the right to terminate the agreement if you break Nintendos rules.
Once you have purchased something it is between you, your consciense and the law as to how you use it with regard to legally dubious stuff such as flash cards. It is completely out of Nintendos control.

Looks like this is gonna hit the 3DS on June 7th - Quite a disappointing delay if I'm honest.  I've finished Pilotwings and Ridge Racer is getting a bit long in the tooth - I could do with a 3DS game to keep me going until Ocarina of Time, but there isn't anything.

Back to the GBA I go then...

PS I wouldn't risk using any R4-type devices on the 3DS yet, as the 3DS logs what has been played on the system - I've heard that these devices WILL brick a 3DS.  It's not worth the risk to be honest.

I have a DSTWO card which is similar to the R4. Is the rumour that Ninty will brick 3DS consoles that have used these cards?

 I have the black one and simply cannot wait for the store to go live.
