Hacking I'm worried that the new pikachu 3DS XL will come with firmware 11.3

[Bryon15]

The new firmware 11.3 just came out today. The upcoming new 3ds xl pikachu edition comes out on February 24th. I have one preordered. But I'm worried that it'll come with the new firmware 11.3 on it. If it does, I'm screwed.

It's too early to tell.
But my guess is that it'll come with 11.2, because it's too early to have (N)3DS(XL)/2DS already packaged with 11.3

....
it takes much longer than 3 weeks to manufacture and ship a 3ds. (8-10 weeks)

It WILL come with 11.2 or less.

I really hope you're right. *hugs you*

It's more likely that it'll come shipped with 11.0. There is a chance that it will come shipped with 11.2, but that's kinda unlikely. But it will NEVER be shipped with 11.3, it's faaaar too new of a firmware to be put onto 3DS consoles that will be released in a couple of weeks.

This should be out at East Coast walmarts, gamestops, etc.

Seeking confirmation its <=11.2 or not.

It won't.
They were made months ago and would most likely be on 11.2

I know, Crystal, but first hand proof might ease the tensions of newbies that aren't familiar with manufacturing lead times.

I wish I had the money to buy one.
But, yeah, you are right. I've tried to beat the manufacturing process into people, but it's not working.

UPS guy is dropping off 2 to me tomorrow morning i'll check if someone hasn't yet by then.
these were probably manufactured at the same time as the US region ones that went on sale in singapore back in november.
just held back stock in america for pokemon's anniversary feb 27th corresponding to a pickachu event in pokemon go.

Not my style to do memey stuff like this but I couldn't resist this time.

Picked mine up this morning and it's on 11.2.0-35U. So everyone worried about it coming with updated fw can feel at ease.

 

[Bryon15]
