Nintendo 3DS eShop and Web Browser Update Available for Dowload

It has been a few weeks wait (about twelve to be precise, not that any of us were counting… *hides abacus*) but the Nintendo eShop and Web Browser update has finally arrived.

Still, it didn’t stop it being a couple of hours late in NA, as many gamers were unable to download the update until the early hours of today (June 7th). Gamers in Europe and Japan should also be able to get the update as of NOW! (I just did mine in the UK). The eShop and Web Browser additions to your 3DS are just one of many lovely features that make up the update as a whole:

-    Automatic updates. Very handy, especially as many of us carry the 3DS round in sleep mode anyway trying to get SpotPass info.
 

-    You can now transfer your DSi purchases/downloads to your new 3DS system. Hurrah!
 

-    For a short time (about a month by all accounts) Nintendo is giving users of the eShop a free copy of ExciteBike in 3D.
 

And obviously, alongside the update additions and freebie (thanks again Nintendo!), available on the eShop from launch are a small selection of items (check online for full details of what is available where you are) including the 3D Pokedex for Pokemon Black/White, the Virtual Console (again, some region specificity here folks) and the DSiWare shop, amongst many more.
 

But don’t waste any more time sitting here reading what I have to say. I certainly haven’t, and I’m thoroughly enjoying playing with my 3D AR Pokemon! Check out GamersDailyNews for further updates after the Nintendo conference, 9.00am PST and 5.00pm BST!

P.S. Do not panic if you get error messages- there are a LOT of people trying to get on the eShop at the same time, and there is a whole month for you to get the ExciteBike freebie, so be patient and if problems persist, leave it a few hours and try again later.
