Nintendo knew about derek's SigHax since 33c3. They also knew he wasn't going to release it. Hedgeberg's attempt is pretty well documented with her streams along with all the struggles. They probably didn't expect this to drop so soon. I don't think most of us did.
I think Nintendo didn't do a hardware revision to fix this when they designed the N2DS XL. Come on this is Nintendo we're talking about. They probably figured it'll take all year or maybe more the way things were going and they could end of life the 3DS line when it got released or just hasten it. They might have had enough lead time to put 11.4 on N2DS XL, but if they are using it for media and such now, it may already be in production and being warehoused to have enough units for launch. It could be on 11.3 or even 11.2 when it hits the store shelves.
Will they try to redouble their efforts at thwarting homebrew as they have done recently? They have lost the CFW battle. Will they pull all the DSiWareHax games? Will they redouble their efforts on promoting the Switch? Will they redouble their efforts on creating a true successor to the 3DS with or without backwards compatibility the way 3DS had with DS? When will we see 11.5 or 12.0? What do you think?
(Mods feel free to move this if you think it better belongs in another section.)
