3DS firmware update adds save transfers, streamlines 'download later'
For example, you won't have to exit the eShop anymore for "Download Later" to work. Just close the 3DS and downloading begins. You can also download game updates in the background. The update also makes the save data transfer tool available, so you can move save data from a packaged version of a game to the eShop version (but not back!) The firmware also makes unnamed "further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments."
Apparently, however, Japanese users have been experiencing trouble with the firmware update. We're checking with Nintendo of America to see if the same error messages are in danger of occurring here.
Update: Nintendo of America acknowledged the issue. If an error message prevents you from updating, turn the 3DS off, then turn it back on, while holding the L, R, A, and Up buttons.

Brigand These new improvements seem useless.
I agree it just seems pointless now. Waste of money.

doubln4ti0nPGA This is pretty cool. But i don't think that many people still use the 3DS.
I think the 3DS is more for kids.
I think the 3D feature of it, the main feature, is purely to entertain little children, and is actually just inconvenient to play games on.

doubln4ti0nIoway At least they are trying to improve
Yeah but there's no point.
No point no, I'm not a fan of the 3DS to be perfectly honest.

No, the people who I know that got one don't play theirs, it just sort of gets forgotten about I think.
I'm pretty sure people don't really use the 3DS :/
Its the type of thing that people would buy and play once.
