Nintendo 3DS eShop & Internet Browser Update Dated For June 6The Nintendo eShop is opening a little late. A few days shy of the end of May window, Nintendo announced the Nintendo 3DS system update will be ready on the evening (Pacific time) of June 6th.

 

This update adds the eShop (i.e. the place to buy Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version) and an Internet browser to the handheld. Aside from Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version, Nintendo has not confirmed any other titles for the eShop’s launch.

 

Nintendo of Japan announced a similar timeframe, June 7th, but Japan’s clock is ahead of ours, so the firmware update could be simultaneous. Nintendo’s E3 press conference will follow in the morning at 9AM on June 7th.

    So still no 3d video recording? my aspirations to film 3d porn movies with my 3DS have been foiled yet again??

    • Exkaiser

      They’re waiting until they can find a way to stream the porn movies you make in 3D to Nintendo HQ.

      It’s an underground business.

    Better late than never.

    Also, I hope the people who are buying the 3DS prototype would get a sweet discount for the market release.

    Sounds good. I can’t wait to get games out of the VC on the 3DS. That is when I do get a 3DS. lol But yeah looking forward to replaying all the retro games on it.

    What is with all the delays? first PSN now Nintendo? frak man…

      PSN didn’t get delayed, it got hacked, due to Sony not upgrading the security earlier. And, at first, Nintendo planned the update for late May. Assuming that late May = May 31st, it only got delayed one week. And it’s just in time for E3 2011. (Freakin Nintendo. So clever.)

    Well im not complaining here, because i will buy my nintendo 3DS by the time TLOZ comes out, also RE mercenaries, tales of the abyss why not buying a 3DS then, thats why i didnt buy it earlier, also didnt had the money lol

    Not a very long wait at all. It’s off my mind now that there’s a date.

    It’ll give me some time to finish reading Muv-Luv Alternative before Legends 3 Prototype sweeps all my plans under the table and forces me, at gunpoint, to buy and play it, anyways.

    Perfect. I get my 3DS 2 weeks after that date. Lessens the chances of me not being able to get Megaman Legends 3 Proto if it turns out to be a limited time offering.

    Delay was forseen.

  • PrinceHeir

    well hopefully they have tons of new features out by the end of the year :P

  • ThunderGod_Cid

    Well….at least we have an actually date this time.

  • CleruTesh

    It seems a bit irritating that they were so clearly unprepared for the 3DS launch. They really should have waited instead of rushing it out before the end of the fiscal/pagan year. When do we get the 3D movies/trailers? And will they be better quality than that OK Go video? Cause the quality is kinda bad…

    It doesn’t matter to me what is on it…having access to the DSiware catalog (and Cave Story, Shantae, that Milky Way game Wayforward just put out…) will be enough for me, I’m sure the 3DS stuff will start appearing on it soon enough.

  • dirtypantsdan

    Just a thought, but is it too convenient that SSFIV Arcade edition is getting released on June 7th and this is coming out in the same week? Maybe the 3DS edition is getting the DLC too?  Probably talking out of my ass here, but you never know.
