A new firmware update is available for the 3DS. As is the case with past upgrades, it does not provide any new functionality.

Although it isn’t significant, the download must be applied if users wish to access the eShop.

New Capcom community specialist teases incoming Monster Hunter news
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Capcom has a new community specialist. Yuri Araujo appears to have taken over for Seth Killian, who left his post for Sony Santa Monica a month ago.
Araujo’s presence at Capcom could be an important move for western Monster Hunter fans. Araujo says that he’s “a serious Monster Hunter fan from Brazil”.
Better yet, Araujo left a tease on Capcom-Unity that news relating to the series is coming “veeeeery soon”.
He wrote:
“I actually joined as a user specifically to inquire (read: complain) about the situation regarding Monster Hunter 2 (dos) Western release back in 2005/06 – so I know exactly how it feels to be lacking a new MH game for a while… patience is a virtue, right? Eventually it pays off somehow… we’ll have something veeeeery soon.”
