3DS update version 9.6.0-24 out now – Home Menu Layout, amiibo settings for regular 3DS
Nintendo has prepared a new 3DS firmware update. Version 9.6.0-24, which is needed in order to access the eShop, can be downloaded now.
Today’s update does a few things. First, Nintendo has added a Home Menu Layout setting, which lets users save/load up to eight layouts of the Home Menu with different theme and software icon arrangements.
amiibo settings have also been added for regular 3DS owners (non-New 3DS). Nintendo reconfirms that a peripheral will be released later this year to make use of its figures.
Lastly, additional categories have been added to the Theme Shop under “View More”, and system stability/usability has been improved.
