Nintendo has pushed out a surprise (but small) update for the Nintendo 3DS. So if you try to log on to that eShop — you know, to get all of that awesome stuff that was released today — you’ll have to first download this update.
What does it do? Well, if you’d already updated last week, not all that much. Nintendo has released the basic “improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments to enhance the user experience” line, which is meaningless to most people. But it seems mainly to fix a bug with Ridge Racer 3D that was causing system freezes, so that’s kind of important.
A full list of changes and details can be found below, for those interested.
Nintendo 3DS Menu 2.1.0-3U
If you currently have update version 2.0.0-2U, this update provides:
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments to enhance user experience
A correction for the screen freeze symptom experienced in the Ridge Racer 3D game
You can receive automatic updates when a wireless internet connection is available. When the download is complete, you will receive a dialog on the HOME Menu detailing the steps to install the update
