3DS Firmware Update

Published on 07-24-12 08:36 PM

A new 3DS firmware update is now available. Update v4.3.0-1 adds some "behind the scene improvements". To receive the new update, select "Other Settings" on the 3DS and scroll to the right and select "System Update". The process will take awhile so connect the 3DS to the power adapter.

Just like the last firmware update, this new update does not add anything of important significant. It just enhances the Nintendo eShop and improves the system's overall performance. People will have to get this new system update in order to access the Nintendo eShop.

Why do they say it takes a while and connect the adapter when for me it takes like a minute or two?

and another time nintendo is trying to stamp out the hackers.

BUT THY HACKERS SHALL PREVAIL!

tis a matter of patience, and the modders and hackers have all of it in the world, and when the new smash comes out for the 3DS, their drive will only be stronger to deliver the same amazing amount of texture packs and mods they created for brawl.

I know, out of the seven or so updates we've had, we've only had one that gave us the eShop and Internet Browser, another one that added a 3D Camera and one that added folders.
You have a right to be ungrateful, they treat us poorly.

In other words, stop whining and being a baby, it's not as if we never get anything, Jesus christ people can be ungrateful -_-

They use that image since it is more aesthetically pleasing to most people.

Nintendo originally had planned on making the circle pads the same colors as the device, but quickly changed their minds. My guess is that it wasn't worth the production cost to make individual pieces when you could just make them uniform.

in other words because I'm paying for their games and services I don't have the right to complain? jeez I guess I should stop and let Nintendo take my money, since they obviously care about what's best for me.

Customers always have the right to complain, it is their only weapon against a big company which could otherwise rip them off.

Haha, of course, why wouldn't you complain about a company who always doing their best to appeal to absolutely everyone? I mean, it's not like they're constantly making new games and new consoles or anything.

I fixed your post so it was less scary.

But yeah, that's awesome, I was wondering when they would block piracy like that. SO it turns out this update DOES offer something good.

People might have the right to complain, but they usually complain about things they weren't promised to... if I go buy a cup of coffee and they didn't offer me a refill (and I'm aware they never told me I'd get one), I shouldn't complain about it, since I got what I paid for, the cup of coffee.

Plus, is not like people is being charged for the updates so complaining for free stuff (no matter how little it is) is even more pointless :S
