Nintendo updates the 3DS with Miiverse and several other new features

The Nintendo 3DS has sold a fair number of consoles, but when you compare it against its predecessor, the Nintendo DS alongside its other variants such as the Nintendo DS Lite, it does not live up to such wild expectations and figures. Fortunately, the latest update for the Nintendo 3DS will not only see the Miiverse introduced, it also gets Nintendo Network ID support and a unified eShop wallet for that added level of convenience.

A year and a half ago, Hideko Konno hinted that Nintendo’s Miiverse might eventually find its way to the 3DS. Now it finally has. The stereoscopic handheld’slatest update is a doozy, not only brining the quirky social network to the dual screen, but integrating the handheld into its unified account system too.
