If you visit the 3DS eShop, you’ll be greeted with a message stating that a new system update is available. This firmware is different than the upgrade that has been offered since early December.

It doesn’t appear to include anything of great importance. Nintendo’s official description of the update is as follows:

“System stability improvements and other adjustments
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”

Note that you must download the new firmware in order to access the eShop. The store will ask you to “Come back after you’ve updated”.
