Topic: System Update 4/24

The new system update that adds folder support to the 3DS is now available in the States (well, I live in New Mexico so it's available there at least. lol)

Just wanted to give ya'll a heads up! The e-shop was down for a few hours prior to this, too.

I'm in NY and also available here as well. Now to figure out how i want to organize everything (really wish the folder icons would display more than one letter) ...

Anyone seen the new eShop layout? Looks hideous!

It's nice we have folders now though... but the eShop, oh the eShop... the main page is an eye sore!

They managed to spiff up the eShop (again?) but not add the most basic of things: an alphabetical list of all the games in the eShop, so you can, y'know, actually find all of them without having to know their names beforehand. This is where Nintendo Life comes in handy, I suppose.

I really like the layout of the new eShop. I like how it has the core categories along the bottom and the really wierd, random categories on top.

i`ve just downloaded the update.
the two things that are obvious at the moment are the folders and the layout of the eshop has changed.
for those who`ve not downloaded the update yet, the folders will be the main draw. but this is want i`ve found so far.
to create a new folder, on the main page, instead of selecting a game, you need select an empty spot. you then get the option to create a folder in that spot. the option is at the bottom of the screen.
you can create as many folders as you want, and move the folders where you want them to be.
you cannot move the settings, eshop, or cart tiles into any folder.
also, you cannot move one folder into another, nor can you create a folder within a folder.
you can rename the folders, and the folder will show the first letter or number of the name given to that folder.
the eshop has only had a shuffle round of the options to make things a little easier to get to.

Update's available in Australia too, which means that it's probably available in all the PAL regions I'd say.

Got the update right before my 3DS died on me. Anyway I got to mess around with the folders and the eShop. I love the folders saves a TON of space on the menu. The new layout of the eShop looks alright nothing big however.

I'll be downloading this soon, so the eShop got an update? I'm curious to see how it looks.

The new eShop is useless, it is no easier to find things than the old one.

The new folders are actually kind of a let down, imho. You can only name them in a limited field of text (like in your Friends list status message) and they don't use pictures for the folders, instead, they use the first letter of the folders name. The icon that floats on the screen above looks bland and you can't assign a game's picture to it. Argh. ANyways, I won't be b*tchy. lol. Any update is a good update, imho. We are inching closer to more customization. Im still stumped why we can't change the theme!

Is the Mario Kart 7 update yet?

No, I don't believe it is patched yet.

I got to spell out "Gumi <3" With my folders , so all in all , this update is a rousing success in my books.

But in all seriousness, its not Awful, but its not great. It does right what it says on the tin, it adds folders, which is cool, but lacking flash, really, it seems kinda boring...

And frankly, the eShop redesign was unnecessary IMO

It comes in May.

I actually like the new eShop much more than the old one. It's easier to navigate somewhat at least. I really appreciate Nintendo making the titles on the touchscreen smaller. Also like how there is finally a VC section permanently at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks to those who answered my question, and I learned the hard way it isn't fixed yet...

My menu went from being a sea of icons to looking like this:

I love this update

I'm pretty happy with the update. Does what it says on the tin, folders are win for us Ambassadors and the eShop update isn't nearly as bad as people are saying. I guess there's a bit of "new Facebook" going on here because TBH there's nothing much to complain about.

I mean what... you guys dislike the fact that the more "system" type things aren't all the way to the left anymore? I don't know about you guys but the first thing I do when I open the eShop is look at the "what's new" thing and maybe the charts. Then I'll go all the way to the right and check out what new folder things they have. This update makes the eShop more usable. What's to complain about?

Just organized my games by genre (Action, Apps, Arcade, Platformers, Puzzle, RPG, and Sports & Racing)! The folders are a bit bland, I'll admit, but they do the job as advertised, so nothing to complain about.

Also like the new eShop update. Looks a lot more professional (I like that Virtual Console and 3D Games are now handily at the bottom, so you don't have to fish around for them).
