Originally planned for “late May”, the much anticipated Nintendo 3DS system update has been dated for 7th June. We’ve also been given details for what’s to be included.
The update finally makes the internet browser work, although it’s the NetFront browser that the PS3 also uses with no Flash so “work” might be an overstatement. It is possible to use the browser during gameplay too, via nimble use of the Home button. This should make all those Layton walkthroughs much easier to use…
The update also throws open the doors on the eShop which means that we’ll be able to spend those Nintendo points on a flurry of downloadable distractions.
There will be virtual console versions of Gameboy classics, Super Mario Land, Tennis and Alleyway. We’ll also get our hands on the 3D remastered version of NES classic, Excitebike, which will be free until July 7th for anyone who downloads the update.
Finally, there will be a free 3D Pokédex application that allows users to collect info and 3D images of Pokémon. Entries can be shared with friends and collected via SpotPass to fill out “more than 150 Pokémon”. Once captured, the little critters can be brought out into the augmented reality world around you and photographed.
The update is free to download and should be available on the 7th June, worldwide.
