3DS firmware update now available, adds folders, game patches

A few days ago Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata announced that a new firmware update was about to be released for the 3DS. That update has become available today.

For anyone who is part of the early adopter’s Ambassadors Program, or any gamer that downloads a lot of games to their handheld, this is an update well worth getting as soon as possible. The reason being it adds folders. Each of these folders can hold up to 60 icons, meaning your multi-page home screen can become a lot more organized.

Once applied, creating a new folder is as simple as tapping an empty slot on your home screen. A new folder option will be presented at which point you can name it. Whatever the first letter of the name you choose is appears as the folder name on the home screen. You can then drag and drop icons into the folder. I created two folders: one for all my Ambassador games, and the other for icons I just don’t use very often such as the Mii stuff.

The other major feature of this new firmware is the ability to patch games. If a developer finds a bug or undesirable cheat in a released title, they can now issue a patch and have a gamer download it. This looks to be an optional step, but could be enforced if you want to play the game online. Patches have already been confirmed for Mario Kart 7, Kingdom Hearts 3D, and New Love Plus.

The patch should be available to everyone as of today. To get it just load up your system settings and click the check for updates option (here’s Nintendo’s guide). A few minutes later you should have the new firmware installed and be good to go. Just don’t forget to plug your 3DS into the mains before applying it.

  1. Hi all,

    A firmware update for the Nintendo 3DS is scheduled to arrive in the middle of the week. With the new update owners will be able to create folders, name them, and store up to 60 items within each one. Thanks a lot!
