A new 3DS firmware update is now available for download. By grabbing the latest firmware, your system will be brought up to version 9.5.0-22.
It appears that today’s update is on the simpler side of things, as it’s mostly about stability. Nintendo says of the firmware: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”. That’s it!

Amazon opened up pre-orders for the new Super Mario amiibo series last week. In just a few hours, stock was mostly gone. Yet despite the seemingly high demand for these new amiibo, none will be rare. Apparently.
Destructoid, citing a trusted source from GameStop, says that Nintendo was “confused” by the rush to pick up the latest amiibo. Representatives are telling GameStop and others stores that the figures will be stocked in “abundance,” and that no one should worry about not getting them on the first round of pre-orders. While Toad will allegedly be the “lightest allocation,” he will still not be considered “rare.”
Does Legend of Kay ring a bell for anyone? The 3D action platformer originally came out 2005 for the PlayStation 2, with a DS port following in 2010. Based on a retailer listing, it seems that Legend of Kay will be making a new appearance on a Nintendo platform later this year.
Amazon Germany is currently listing Legend of Kay Anniversary for Wii U. A tentative June 12 release date and €29.99 price point are included on the page.
Legend of Kay is definitely not the sort of game I would have expected to return after such a long period. It’ll be interesting to see what sort of changes are being made in the Wii U version.
Thanks to Shinun and daniel49324 for the tip.
