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 can be completed without random encounters
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
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.
