Gamers across the internet are still mourning the passing of the Nintendo 3DS after nine years of solid portable gaming experiences, but it turns out that Nintendo isn’t completely done with it just yet. Two months after the company officially discontinued the entire 3DS line, it has dropped a brand new system update for the dual-screened handheld.
As of this week, system update 11.14.0-46 is available to download on all 3DS, New 3DS, 2DS, and New 2DS devices. In keeping with previous Nintendo system updates, the new update is pretty vague about what it changes exactly, with its patch notes merely saying that it provides, “further improvements to overall system stability” and “other minor adjustments… to enhance the user experience.”
Even so, 3DS owners will appreciate any extra stability before it’s retired for good. While production may be over, Nintendo has confirmed that it will continue to provide online support for the 3DS, meaning users will be able to continue playing online with friends and buying games from the eShop for the “foreseeable future.”
With over 75 million units sold across its lifespan and a massive library featuring some of the best games of the last decade, the 3DS has been a huge success for Nintendo, one that carried the company through a rough patch with the Wii U and towards the success it’s achieving now with the Switch. Now that the Switch has fused Nintendo’s home console and handheld businesses into one, it’s possible fans might not see another dedicated portable like the 3DS ever again. Should that end up being the case, then at least Nintendo ended its celebrated history of portable consoles on a high note.
