Update: Full patch can be found after the break.

Nintendo has released the latest firmware update – version 7.0.0-13 – for the 3DS, and it’s a big one.

First, Miiverse is now fully supported on the 3DS. After installing the new firmware, you should see a new icon on the home menu that will allow you to access the online community.

Today’s update also brings about Nintendo Network IDs on the 3DS. Names registered on Wii U can now be used on the 3DS and eShop balances can be combined. Alternatively, a Nintendo Network ID can be created from scratch.

A StreetPass update is also available, though we’re not quite sure what it adds at present.

Bravely Default does offer random encounters, but that doesn’t mean players actually have to get involved with this element if they’re not interested. The game includes a slider that can be set as low as -100% or as high as 100% (0% being the standard) for random battles based on user preference.

One player in Japan managed to complete Bravely Default without a single random encounter. Even better, not a single piece of DLC (SP Drinks) was purchased.

The total play time? 20 hours and 25 minutes, on Easy mode. That goes to show how flexible Bravely Default is in terms of play time – you won’t be forced to go through a 40-50 hour RPG.

Super Ubie Land has been out on several platforms for a few months, but there hasn’t been much news regarding the Wii U version. That’s changed today thanks to an update from Notion Games.

Super Ubie Land will arrive on the eShop in early 2014, the studio has confirmed on Twitter. Notion hopes to wrap up development by Christmas. Before it lands on Wii U, Super Ubie Land will see another name change.

Notion Games, developer of Super Ubie Land, has officially revealed its next project for the Wii U: “Team Notion”. It’s planned for the eShop as well as PS Vita.

Team Notion actually started out as a Kickstarter initiative close to two years ago, but work on the title has apparently just begun. The project is a 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up featuring co-op gameplay, unlockable moves for the various characters, and more.
