Nintendo released recently a new system update for the Nintendo 3DS with the purpose of improving “overall system stability” along with “other minor adjustments.” Though no other information has been provided, perhaps the update has something to do with a flashcard that could be used to play downloadable games illegally. People who make use of unauthorized software risk having their portable device non-functional.
