Nintendo has pushed out a new 3DS update today, increasing the system’s firmware to Nintendo’s firmware. As you would expect at this point, no new features are added.
The lone patch note for today is as follows: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.
