I wonder if it would be possible for an update to allow DSiware games to run off an SD card. I'd also like more Streetpass slots. Right now I have all the big games Streetpass activated but would like more room to actívate lesser known games like Shinobi. (It would just be neat to SP someone who's actually played it.)

As far as we know yea. could be more maybe.
Fuck this shit. Why the hell isn't there NTP (Network Time Protocol) support? The internal realtime clock sucks balls, anyway - worse drift than my mechanical wristwatch.

I'm talking inception levels of folders so deep that time itself is reversed at the deepest level and we all revert back to when we were happy enough to get a home version of Pong.
Woah now. One step at a time with Nintendo here. We don't want to push them too far.
Annoyed Iwata: what now? WHAT?! Colours? Icons? Maaaaaaannnn!!
I'm worried about this, too. I can't figure out how I should name my folders. I know that I want different folders for 3D Classics, NES VC, Game Boy VC, Game Gear VC, Game Boy Color VC, Game Boy Advance VC, DSiWare, Videos, and Demos, but how will I name them?! Since only the first letter of the name appears on the icon, my folders will look like this: 3, N, G, G, G, G, D, V, D. Kinda confusing, huh? =/ I really wish that the icon displayed at least three characters, then I could name them NES, GB, GG, GBC, GBA, etc.

Have there ever been any stealth updates in previous firmwares?
I'm hyped (FOLDERS!!! How could I not be!?) but kinda want a little bit more.....

I'll probably go with something like 3D Classics, NES VC, Game Boy VC, Game Gear VC, Game Boy Color VC, Game Boy Advance VC, DSiWare, Videos, and Demos. 3, N, B, G, C, A, W, V, D. All the folders will be unique if you use those letters.
But you also have to keep in mind that the full title appears on the top screen. If I wanted to name the folders like that, they would look like this: 3D Classics, NES VC, Boy VC, Game Gear VC, Color VC, Advance VC, Ware, Videos, and Demos. Doesn't really work, lol.
Or you could just do something like "B Game Boy VC". Guess it depends on if you value the title or the icon more.
Wait...! Does it really? Then... Why are we even talking about that here. Disscussion = null. #folderchanger
bring the update nintendothingguyworker!

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
It's nearly midnight in the UK.
No update yet.
No update yet.
Is it already time to start obsessively refreshing?
It's allread 1 am in germany. I'm sleepy and just gonna check one more time befor sleep.
but when i wake up i want to sort the shit out of my cluttered homescreen and spam maka wuhu with randoms.
YOU HAVEN'T STARTED YET???!! The lower right corner on my 3ds shows a first dent.
It's only 7 pm where I live. I'm not expecting it before I go to bed either.
Ha well, shop is also still offline. I'm gonna hit the snoozer. Goodnigh everyone.
...and hell will break loose if i don't wale up to a freshly new firmware.
(...or even better:allready downloaded. 3ds can do that now, doesnt it?)
Wasn't the last update earlier than announced?
nope, gotta do it manually
I meant the update that gave us the eShop. Were the other ones really mega updates?
Are folders really a mega update? Yes, yes they are
I'm pretty sure the 3DS can download an update through Spotpass and then ask you to install it when it's done, but manually updating it is way quicker than waiting for Spotpass to pick it up.

Are we really getting excited about folders?!?!
.... Yeah, I am. I really want to organise my eShop games. It will be a beautiful cacophony of organised bliss.

I'd rather have a proper name than something like "B Game Boy VC", but at the same time I don't want a bunch of Gs on my folder icons.
Because you can't see the full name on the top screen unless you have the folder selected. If I have a bunch of folders with the letter G on them beside each other, I'm not going to know what's what unless I go through and select them all to see the full names on the top screen, which kinda defeats the whole point of folders in the first place.
The only solution I can think of is to use special characters as icon symbols for my folders, and just memorize what is what. For example, NES could be a square, Game Boy could be a triangle, DSiWare could be a circle, etc. So, for example, the full name of a folder would be something like "★ 3D Classics", with just the symbol appearing on the icon. I'd have to think about which symbol would best represent each folder, and hopefully there are enough special characters for use.
Pretty sure people were excited when Apple introduced folders.

Get OUT!
I don't know. Those iOS update threads can become pretty hyped.
I think when Sony does it...
I think most people have no issue with Xboxes updates.. I've never seen any complaints.
Well other than when they radically change the dashboard and UI stuff.

Not untill I can use my iTouch as mass storage.
It's more that people are kinda shocked that Nintendo's actually listening and implementing obviously useful features that fans are asking for instead of slamming their hands over their ears and screaming, "LALALALALA NO IT'S TOTALLY FINE LALALALALA!!!" like they've been known to do for the last... well, ever.
So, for the folder naming idea, what about something like this?
☆ 3DS Download Software
★ 3D Classics
■ NES VC
▲ Game Boy VC
● Game Gear VC
▼ Game Boy Color VC
◆ Game Boy Advance VC
♪ DSiWare
Videos
Demos
Do you think those shapes match up well with the categories? Or should I switch some around or something?

I don't have folders on my PSP and there's also no such option for 360 or PS3 (or there wasn't when I owned a PS3).
