System Update
IMPORTANT: The Nintendo 3DS System specications and the Nintendo 3DS Service are constantly evolving and we may update
or change the Nintendo 3DS System or the Nintendo 3DS Service in whole or in part, without notice to you. Such updates may be
required for you to play new Nintendo 3DS games, enjoy new features, or continue to access the Nintendo 3DS Service. After the
Nintendo 3DS menu is updated, any existing or future unauthorized technical modication of the hardware or software of your
Nintendo 3DS System, or the use of an unauthorized device in connection with your system, will render the system permanently
unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorized modication of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 3DS system will
be removed. Failure to accept the update may render games and new features unplayable.
The Nintendo 3DS system automatically updates a list to help limit the use of inappropriate words and a list of access points that can
be used for network services oered by Nintendo. No prior notice for these or other minor automatic updates will be displayed on
the screen. For other system updates, a notice will be displayed on the screen, and you will need to select “Accept” to receive
such updates.
NOTE: A broadband wireless network connection is required to connect to the Internet and perform a system update unless you
are performing a system update from a Game Card. See page 44 for more information on setting up a connection.
Format System Memory

recycling, or otherwise transferring your system to any third party. For more information about privacy and the

NOTE: The photos, audio, and other such data on your SD Card are not erased even if you format system memory. If you plan to
transfer your Nintendo 3DS system to another person, use a computer or other device to erase the data on the SD Card.
Format System Memory will erase any data saved in System Memory and return the system to its factory-default state. The system
