This is great! The VC and 3D Classics stuff is already getting a little bulging, and I would love to sort by platform without having to move every damn game each time I buy something new. This is even more helpful for hiding all the crap I wish I could delete.
Add auto-sort options (platform>alpha-numeric) and it would be perfect (Vita too).

As far as im concerned not enough Tak Fujii
Frogger 3D was excellent but if reviews are anything to go by Im alone in that opinion.

I shouldn't be excited about folders, but I am.
Celebratory theme tune for this momentous news:

Very nice song and video it is too.

but... you can delete apps through the settings menu
Well the 3DS technically has more HTML5 capabilities than the Vita and PS3 browser. Still shit, though, since that doesn't include any of HTML5's media capabilities.
I'd love a Youtube app too, given that Youtube 3D is already a real thing.

MK7 patch? MEGATON

I assume post-patch it'll work similarly to Xbox Live or PSN and not allow you to be connected to the internet if you refuse a game's patch. But how will they keep the people who don't update to the new firmware from playing online?
EDIT: Crap, thought this was the Mario Kart thread. Eh, question still applies.

Yes! Hopefully Sony follows suit. Strange omission to not have folders.

They did, then I threatened to shave Iwata's head.
and just the other day I was thinking and hoping for a folder system for the 3DS since my home screen looks cluttered. Whats even better is that a folder can hold 60 items. And I still have a lot of stuff I want to buy on the eShop and I hope Nintendo better bring out the big titles for VC. Really waiting for the Zelda Oracle games.
well, I'm glad they changed their mind..
I mean, blatantly ignoring glitches and problems of that nature on one of your flagship franchises is just wrong, and I'm sure they know that those problems prevented a lot people from buying the game.
I'm glad they're doing it. I stopped playing MK7 online because of that.. I just can't stand people spamming that course and taking advantage of that stupid glitch
Yeah I was thinking that too. When creating/editing the folder you should be given the choice between:
The first letter of the folder name.
Pre designed icons for common folder types. For example; software types (VC, DSiWare, etc), VC systems (NES, GB, etc), genres (Action, Racing, etc).
And custom icons we can draw ourselves.
Oh well, maybe next update.

Folders sound minor, but my 3DS home screen is littered with loads of downloaded games, so having somewhere to put them is very welcome!

Folders! Really needed this given how much I've downloaded already @_@ GBA, GB, and eShop folders will be a must for me
Yeah, awfull! Isn't it?
on a side note:
is it just me or does nintendo seem to listen more to their customers now?
i mean, mk7 patch and folders were pretty much what fans were screaming for and nintendo delivered.
next stop: wii u powerhouse with 8 working haptic tablets please. (899.99$) :3

Neat, but I'm still waiting for the update that lets me access the home screen while playing a DS game.
Not being able to adjust brightness without quitting the game sucks.

You can totally adjust the brightness when playing a ds game. Hit the home button to suspend, then hold down select and use up and down on the dpad. Its magic.
Don't quote me on that but i think that won't be possible due to way the system works while playing DS games.
Edit:
i mean entering 3DS functions while playing DS games.

...I know that, but you can't delete all of them. Things like the safety warning, Face Raiders, AR Games, etc are permanent core features, and I would like to hide them.
Or did they change this?
Yes, it's "Start". I'm playing around with it now and "Select" doesn't work at all. Either way; I did not know this, Mind blown!
That's cool, I guess, though I have never really cared much for that feature, honestly. Would have much rathered the eShop be updated with a shopping cart and/or gifting.
That was one random NoA rep that either didn't know, or wasn't allowed to talk about the upcoming patching system.

Well, except that one guy.
But we can't talk about that because the case is still pending...
Obviously you weren't paying attention when iOS 4.0 was announced/released. When Vita gets folders, I guarantee you that GAF will make a big fuss over that too.
Nintendo fans are not alone in their desire for better UI and menus. See threads on ps3 and 360 OS updates for evidence.
Damn people being happy about getting features they wanted.
