EDIT: Anyways, chances of them being blocked is 99%. So don't update until your flashcard firmware is updated.

Unless you have a DSTwo, you can update those after system updates, right?

I believe so, yeah.

You could always NOT UPDATE.

You could always NOT UPDATE.

But if you don't update you won't be able to use the eShop or play online which is anoying, especially since unlike the Wii there's currently no way to get around such blocks on the 3DS because of the lack of 3DSbrew. And on the 3DS there is alot of good stuff rolling out on the eShop.

I think I'll probably update my 3DS. I have a DSLite still so I can update my Flashcard once an update is available.

What? when did that happen? All I know is that you can't play newer games, and go to the eshop. I didn't know you were forced to update to play online ._.

Im preatty sure you can still play games online without updating. Thats one advantage of not having a centralized thing like xbl. The only game youd possibly have to worry about not being able to play is mario kart.

I think you can live without eshop for the week or less it usually takes for a patch.

EDIT So yeah, it seems mario kart would require you to upate, which makes sense. Other games would still be fine, but granted, i dont if there is anything worthwhile to play online besides street fighter and kart .... I think its still not really that big a deal to wait

I like the fact that they are fixing the cheat bugs in Mario Kart 7, cause this update will allow them the dlc later as well as organizing your home menu.

You can't play online without updating?
If that's not true, people can just not update and exploit MK7's Maka Wuhu glitch..

In the Nintendo direct they said after it is patched you will have to update in order to play with others online.

Oh, good.

I hope for downloadable content too for this patch. It would be great to see new content for my favourite games. If this patch contains only this two features, it would be fine too.

 

[Janthran]

How about a sort button? I just spent about half an hour sorting all the tiles by name and system.

I arranged them in groups. I have my boring apps, my Zelda games, my Pokemon stuff..
Yeah, it's all organamized.

 

[Vampire Lied]

Hopefully the ability to sort folders from SD card (pics/vids) comes with it.
Otherwise, I don't see much use for it unless you have an ambassador system or buy a lot of stuff on eshop.

 

[xxteargodxx]

I don't think it is going to provide ability to sort folders from the SD Card. It's more of a feature just to tidy up the home screen, so if you have lots of E-Shop Games this will be a great help to you.

If you take a look at the structure of 3DS-specific stuff on the SD card, you'd see you really can't organize it manually, since each game/app isn't simply a single file.

And.... this is going to block flashcarts again.

 

[Janthran]

I'm going to put the game card in a folder in a folder^37..
and then sell my 3DS
Genius

Not if I load a ton of downloadable games on it and delete my account.

A 3ds update on Wednesday.
It'll have application folders for the home menu and support for Nintendo Network features, like game patches for retail carts. Probably some other stuff too, which we'll see on Wednesday.
