A new system update has just gone live for the Nintendo 3DS, and - you've guessed it - it offers more stability.
How much stability is too much stability? Who knows, but we doubt Nintendo has reached the limit just yet.
Here's the official word from the Big N itself:
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
Let us know once you've downloaded the update, and tell us if you notice any additional stability lurking in there that Nintendo may have missed.

Can anyone confirm if the New 3DS XL d-pad issues were fixed with this?
I began to notice that problem since the last two updates, it gives a double input whenever you turn the system on, load a game or wake the system.
How many times can this site make the same joke?
@Plateface As many times as they have to report on Nintendo's stability-enhancing system software updates, haha. And besides, they do variations — helps keep the monotony down.
@Plateface As many times as there's a stability update
My system is so stable that a glass of water could stay undisturbed during a 9.0 earthquake.
The Wii U doesn't get more stability Nintendo?
Oh man, I need a bigger SD card for all that stability.
I can't update, one of my games won't let me exit to the menu. lol
The 3DS is so stable not even Chuck Norris can knock it down.
My 3ds is so stable that a horse lives in it.
I'd like to say my 3DS is more stable, but I had to exit out of my game and my system restarted from it all! Flashbacks to my iDevice crashing, right there...
@TJF588 Was the game Smash? And are you on an old 3DS? If so, it's because of Smash.
@Hitokage No, I just usually keep a game, often StreetPass Mii Plaza, running in the background, but to update the system, you have to close running software, and after the update the system restarts. All of which, under other circumstances, sounds like the most unstable tech around.
My 3DS is now stably stabled in a stable filled with staples from Sable.
Breaking news: 3DS succesor will be called Stableboy! Launches with a game starring Ingo!
@Sionyn What functions were changed?
@gurtifus
Good talking. Giving you b***, i mean magical juice with vitamin "B".
If you are not old enough i will give you when you will be.
If anything, Tomodachi Life has framerate drops now. That's not stable.
@Politoed Maybe when they launch the new loyalty programme/account service? That's a major change and not too far away. Hope there's some more details at E3, including linking purchase to NNID rather than hardware.
