system update

Nintendo has released a new firmware update for Wii U.

Version 4.1.0 is a bit of a small upgrade. Nintendo says that the new firmware improves system stability and usability – no additional features have been added.

Here’s the official update notes from Nintendo:

A new system update is now available for the 3DS. Just like the upgraded Wii U firmware released earlier this week, version 7.1.0-16 improves the handheld’s stability. Other minor adjustments have been made as well.

Head past the break for Nintendo’s official patch notes.

Nintendo has released a new update for Wii U, bringing the firmware up to version 4.0.3. It’s primarily intended to improve system stability (as well as software compatibility).

You can find the official update notes from Nintendo below.

3DS owners can now download a small update for the system. Version 7.1.0-15 makes “Further improvements to overall system stability” and provides “other minor adjustments” to the “user experience,” Nintendo has confirmed. Note that you’ll need the latest firmware in order to access the eShop.

Thanks to Carlos D for the tip.

A new update is out now for the 3DS. It’s nothing too major, though the firmware has been brought forward to version 7.1.0-14. Today’s update, Nintendo says, provides “Further improvements to overall system stability” while also making small adjustments “to enhance the user experience”.

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.
