3DS System Update Now Available, Details Inside

3DS System Update Now Available, Details Inside

As system update for the Nintendo 3DS has come about, as pointed out on NeoGaf earlier today. The “Version 7.0.0-13U” update is available to download via a wireless internet connection, and adds a few new features to the handheld’s software.

The new features in question are really just new software implementations. The update will bring added support for Nintendo Network IDs, which now allows users to create their own Nintendo ID with the 3DS’ System Settings. The Nintendo eShop has also been updated to take into account this ID implementation.

The update also brings support for Miiverse , where users can now read and post things to Miiverse through the 3DS family.

The full list of software additions (including the ones mentioned above) is listed below. I took the liberty of better formatting the list so that it may be easier to read:
