3DS update coming this Tuesday

It was supppsed to be coming in “the late May update” but both Nintendo of Japan and Nintendo of America have confirmed it is coming next month (June 7 in Japan, June 6 in America), so I guess this applies worldwide now... Bare in mind the eShop was already delayed from the launch date which is why they are giving a 3D remake of Excite Bike for free when it arrives.

Alot of people are finding the date suspicious as that is also when Nintendo do there E3 presentation.

BTW does anyone think Nintendo are doing this due to Sony's PSN being hacked and want to avoid a similar thing to them?

ugh

It's been confirmed that the whole “late May” update has been pushed back, not just eShop and now Nintendo of Europe have announced it will be June 7 when we get it over here.

Coincidently June 7 is when Nintendo are on stage at E3... is it just coincidence or is it done on purpose?

eSop updates.

Excite Bike 3D has been announced as a freebie for a limited time in North America and Japan, but no news yet on if it's free over here.

A free Pokedex app has been added which allows you to capture Pokemon via QR codes and aswell as seeing all the info on that Pokemon, but you can also use the AR Cards and take pictures of them.

The Wii shop now uses eShop cards and even shows you a £15 eShop card (and 2 others behind it).

eShop will feature 3D Trailers, Free Demos, 3D Classics (original games remasterd for the 3DS, Virtual Console (mainly handhelds at the moment), 3DS-Ware, DSiWare and other stuff.

I'm still disappointed with the Virtual Console part of eShop as the PSP can play PS1 games and the 3DS is alot more powerful than the PSP and could easily have fitted everything from the Wii's Virtual Console section including the N64, so I think just adding handhelds to begin with is just lazy (although 3D Classics will feature remastered console games).
