If you can manage to connect to Nintendo’s servers, you’ll see that the much-awaited “November” update has finally arrived on the 3DS. It adds numerous new features to the console including 3D video recording, new StreetPass mini-games, a new home menu icon, and, most importantly, an updated version of the eShop.

Here’s a list of most of the new additions:

-Slideshow of collected 3D images from Puzzle Swap
-Music player, featuring 30+ unlockable tracks

-New character hats
-Players met through online community games such as Mario Kart 7 appear in the plaza
-New Puzzle Swap puzzles and Find Mii 2
eShop
-Downloadable content
-Sleep mode downloads
-Demo versions of games (playable only a certain amount of times at the specific publisher’s discretion)
-Download codes for promotions
-Ability to save credit card information
Others

-3D video recording of up to 10 minutes (per video, must be saved to SD card)
-Stop-motion animation videos
-Bug Fixes
-More QR code functionality
-Nintendo Zone now accessible to all users via the main menu
-Ability to transfer content from one 3DS to another
-Minor friends list adjustments
-QR codes can be scanned straight off the home menu, with just a tap of L or R

Being Digitally Downloaded and all, we’re most excited about the eShop additions. It’s currently under maintenance, but stay tuned for a more in-depth analysis later on.

  • Yeah, I echo that sentiment. I was really hoping something like the Nintendo channel would be available to at least view regional aggregates, but I didn't see anything.

    I do like some of the eShop changes like delayed download and gave it a try early this morning with 'Link's Awakening DX'. Though overall it still looks and operates the same. Will be interesting to see how the new demo and DLC features pan out.
