It's been about a month and a half since Nintendo last gave the 3DS an update, and 3DS owners have no doubt been growing more worried with each passing day. With the advent of the Nintendo Switch and the American Presidential Election, times have never been more uncertain or, shall we say, unstable. The people need somewhere or something to turn to, a bastion of stability in an otherwise turbulent world. Fortunately, Nintendo's got us covered.
The system software for the 3DS has been recently updated to 11.2.0-35, and it's available to download right now. As with the past dozen updates, it ensures that your 3DS will remain as stable as physically possible, while also likely blocking more programming inroads that those pesky pirates are so fond of exploiting. Naturally, the update is required for online services, so download it posthaste to ensure your continued online connectivity (and stability).
What do you think? How long will Nintendo continue stabilizing the 3DS? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Well at least that was a new take on the otherwise lame stable angle.
The stability....it's too much for me to handle!!
Okay, but will the stability held my floppy hint? Take that, Nintendo.
I really hope that switch doesn't kill off 3ds and we get games for a few more years. Its by far my favorite handheld of all time.
why not update it with something useful like automatic home menu sorting? like by alphabetic order, publisher, release date, etc. I'd love that so much. I have so much stuff on it it's hard to organize.
Make stability great again!
I don't even care anymore...
I've never felt so stable.
The 3DS is approaching maximum stability. Pretty soon they'll be stabilizing the Switch.
The 3DS is so stable, it deserves to be the US President! It's clearly the best candidate!
cant update my 2ds sd card is out room even thoe i deleted 13,000
blocks of space
My life is a complete mess, but the 3DS updates give me the stability I need
time to not update
psst... there are ways of getting online without the latest firmware.
ill keep my copy of pong, thx
@corrosiveCorvus nice
New update: allows balancing and stability when placed on Nintendo Switch!
I actually found my 3DS is stable enough so I'll be skipping this one.
There was a time that the 3DS was known to be one of the most unstable devices in the history of the world, but now it is known to be the stablest, I'm sure will be seeing even more stability updates for the 3DS for decades to come to make sure it is 1,819.5% stable
I will update my 3DS after working time.
Make America stable again!
@Tyranexx It's got my vote!
Anyone voted early today? I voted for Trump.
Mitch, you sir, crack me up.
3DS lifecycles matter
Stability necessary for mobile adventures. I guess since Wii U is a home console it is stable enough already?
Oh Stability!, I miss you, because my economy is not stable now!
Hahaha nice article!
Just when I thought the console couldn't get any more stable, they continue surprising me.
Tbh they should build everything with 3DSes at this point so nothing collapses.
The stability... ITS OVER 9,000!!!
It is so stable that it will never fall off my desk!
Thanks Nintendo... -_- Its not like I already have 243 horses. I'll 100% happily buy 4 more.
"Make 3DS stable again!" - Bowser Trump
In dire times of instability, we, as citizens of the world, look to our one bastion of hope, the stability of the 3DS.
NintendoLife
I love you guys and your sense of humor
@Firebird360 If this has a touchscreen, it could possibly emulate both screens on a single screen. I can't see Nintendo throwing away a library as huge as the 3ds or the virtual console. There is such a small handful of Wii U games, I believe they could all be ported, so I have high hopes for the future.
but, is it as stable as the Nintendo Switch?
@Aozz101x I think we should be asking if the Nintendo Switch will be as stable as the 3DS. I'll bet they've been spending months trying to get it to that level.
Any noticeable games get pulled from the eShop? Haven't heard of any new exploits in a while.
Yay, even more stable chicken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axAmED7lqe4
The stability is over 9000!!
@Tyranexx But what about a pineapple?
If it gets any more stable I'm gonna be boarding horses! Dang, I've already used that one...
I blame Boris and Brexit.
I didn't realized that I missed the stability jokes until I read this article.
Also,since it's missing, i'll put this myself:
@Randomname19 No, that one's for maintenance!
Things updated/changed in 11.2.0-35:
Console/network update version, native firmware update and friends module fixes.
So yeah, nothing really exciting about this update.
...the elections and nx reveal reminded me..
...my 3DS is now more stable than a CIRCUS elephant....
I've got a stable one
i knew exactly what this would be and i read it anyway. kudos to you, nintendolife, you still made me laugh.
They'll support it for at least another year. And beyond that, I guess we'll have to wait and see how well the Swith will sell...
My 3ds is now such a bastion of stability that anyone who looks at it thinks it's unstable, when in fact it is they who are not yet stable, they just don't know it. All about perception, my friends. The 3ds is the only stable thing in the world.
I fear for what would happen if the Switch is not sufficiently stable at launch. I don't think I could use a console that's not at stable as my 3ds.
Breaking news: Nintendo Switch includes revolutionary new stability levels that actually stabilises countries with recently overthrown governments
If Nintendo wants me to belive this would enchanse my user experience, they should tell me excatly how.
Will download it next time I feel like going to the eshop or play online.
Anyone use a sky3ds+ here? Any use?
At last...
Lol I think we are all tired of these stability jokes! 😂 Well I guess we'll soon be seeing Nintendo switching this stability power to the next console!
EDIT: Damn it! I just realised I just made a stability joke!!!
The 3DS is set to be stable enough to last until at least March 2017.
The 3DS needs to be so stable that it can't be moved anywhere...
I really hope they add some more features to the 3DS.
I updated my 3ds and it suddenly turned into Epona.
I just updated, it now allows the 3DS to connect wirelessly to the TV. You don't need the Switch anymore.
After I updated my 3DS just floated out of my hands from sheer stability.
I'm going to build a house on top of the 3ds due to stability.
@Vincent294: The pineapple can be Vice President. It's not as stable as the 3DS, but it has the edgy hair!
me wants!!
...It's not stable enough YET?!
HA!!! The stabibilty-jokes have been a little flat and stupid, but this one made me laugh Good Job!
After installing this update, my 3DS blew up like a Samsung.
3ds is now more stable than:
a two-legged table
the stock market
Donald Trumps mentality
Wilford Brimelys' 'diabeetus'
a weight-watchers weight
Taylor Swift's dating cycle
Nevada desert rock-art
Wii fit U balance board on an ironing board glued to a cemented board.
Until 'pesky' pirates try to balance an exploit on an sd card.
Yeah... This stupid update interrupted me when I tried to upload a score for a competition in Pokemon Shuffle (locked my Internet connections)
I feel like I could balance my 3DS on the head of a pin due to its emmense stability.
Look, an S table.
Oh finally! I've been waiting for an update to my updates. I'm zooming over to get this immediately!! Woohoo!!!!
The 3DS is now so stable, when the NIntendo Switch is released, we can build an impenerable wall around Mexico with all of the 3DS systems.
We all know what this update is really for... So I won't bother stating it since we already know.
