3DS Receives Another Super Stable Update

This update actually breaks Luma3DS. Nice move, Nintendo. It probably won’t be long before Luma gets patched again, but for now, not bad.

Here come a hundred stability jokes...

I've made like 10 stability jokes at least over the past year Nintendo, how am I supposed to keep coming up with them when you guys keep stabilizing the 3DS to tiers that have broken through the heavens of stability

I placed my 3DS under a load bearing beam. After this update, my house will now be earthquake proof.

I have no idea what happened but this 3DS stability update was so stable it stabilised my Wii U as well.

Best long running joke. Thanks Biggie N.

I am on my 2ds now but i haven't updated it yet.

Nintendo should remove the miiverse icon in one of those updates

If there is one thing we know the people at Nintendo Life love to hate, it's stability updates!

We all know these updates are anti-piracy and bug fixing updates. Though at this point in the 3DS's life, I imagine it's purely anti-piracy.

@Moonlessky - that's a very very good point.

I want to make a stability joke, but I don't think any are very good.

Oh well..guess I can throw out all these hats I made saying " Make 3DS Stable Again "..

the 3ds is so stable that Nintendo should call it the StableDS

“Are you still playing the system or have you moved onto the Switch and never looked back?“

I’ve actually spent most of July playing DS games on my 3DS. Games I bought back in summer 2011 in fact, when my 3DS was so new that stability gags were still fresh.

Yes, my backlog is so great that it predates stability and actually causes mini localised tremors. I firmly believe Nintendo will finally stop the stability updates when the backlog is up to date.

@Shepdawg1 Luma3DS haven't been updated since last year, this will give Aurora something to fix.

@Nincompoop It has been already fixed around 5 hours ago.

Excuse me but this post was highly disappointing. We want @switchvogel back! Now we have to wait I don't know how many months for another stable.

@PewnyPL Nintendo can't seems to get any true stability for their consoles. They should learn from Sony, the PS4 is like a stud in the stable.

I’m enjoying Pokemon crystal on my super stable 3ds. The console almost feels retro now the switch is here ❤️

I still have my lovely New 3DS XL, but my daughter mostly plays Fashion Boutique 2 on it now. My Switch is just... beautiful, I love it! Stability wise though, my 3DS kicks it in to the ground, shouting stability puns at it from a great, great height with literally no fear. You know, because of all the stability?

@najee508 what do you think the 'S' in 3DS stands for?

I wish they would fix my faulty battery in my n3ds. It used to be such a fun machine. Now it's permanently tethered to a plug point.

@Moonlessky Yeah, that would be smart

@Jacob1092 lol you're right they planned ahead. clever nintendo

And yet, Nintendo can't just disable and remove inactive buttons? Like miiverse? Sheesh..... So annoyed

@Shepdawg1 Should I avoid updating then?

There's something about this that's so stable, it's like how much more stable could this be? And the answer is none. None more stable.

I'm kind of afraid to update my 3DS at this point. I'm worried that the stability will distort the space-time continuum in my house since everything else is way less stable.

My cat used to slide my DS around the night stand, but this stability update keeps him from being able to move it. Stability, out-foxing 20lb cats since 7/31/2018

I’d like an update to get rid of miiverse and any other software I don’t use like face raiders and the whole mini plaza thing

This update seems to have broken my Streetpass. I have two systems so they usually get streetpasses from each other when both on. Since I saw the update I turned on my second system to update it as well but now no streetpasses are showing up. Anyone else experiencing this? I wonder if it's some other problem with my systems instead...

@Shepdawg1 Thanks, I really wouldn't want to brick it after all this time.

@chiefeagle02
lol

@Tyranexx
and another lol

This update is so stable I place it on the edge of the table with more then 80% of the system off the edge and it didn't fall.

Nintendo has also implemented server-side authentication for digital games/apps, same as the Switch. Even if it's a dump from your own 3DS cartridge, if you use an installed game/app to go online that wasn't legitimately obtained from the eShop itself, prepare to get boopee by the ban-hammer.

Well, time to install my cartridge collection...

3DS? Oh, you mean Switch's predecessor, which because Nintendo refuses what the market is saying is leading to Switch's decline- before you fanboys argue, imagine Wario Ware on Switch instead of 3DS. There wouldn't be this game drought on Switch right now, and you wouldn't be seeing this sales DECLINE like it has now either. I rest my case...

@TJF588 Nintendo couldn't tell that until now? Wow... that surprises me as I would have thought that was an easy fix. Maybe it's not so easy; it's not like I know.

I still have a few 3DS games to play, most still in the cellophane - Ever Oasis, Lego Undercover Chase and a few more. These are all in the back log. Luigi's Mansion is the only new game coming that I'll get. Despite releasing the 2DS XL, it does look like Nintendo is pretty much done with the 3DS. Time to start thinking of it as part of my retro collection. A bit sad

This system is so stable I can balance it on the tip of my nose while riding a unicycle at a 90 degree angle with one leg, going down a steep hill. Amazing, Nintendo!

@pika677 Did your case get enough rest? Does it need some water, or maybe a biscuit?

Why havent they removed icons for services that are no longer supported?
