Nintendo Zone - Depending on what region your 3DS is from, you might have a new icon on your main menu which allows you to download videos and demos from specific retailer wi-fi hotspots.
Go here to find a hotspot near you - http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/hotspot-locator
3D Video recording - This is under the camera icon where the pictures have always been. You can also start it by pressing the L and R buttons from the main menu.
QR Code scanning - In the camera application, there is now an icon you can press to scan QR codes. This is for regular QR codes and not Mii QR codes. When you scan them, you will be able to launch the 3DS web browser and go to the website.
System Transfer - You can now transfer all your games, saves, and settings from one 3DS to another. The option for this is under the System Settings menu.
Find Mii 2 - The sequel to Find Mii is now available to people who have already collected all the hats from Find Mii 1. Find Mii 2 will appear in the same menu where Find Mii 1 is. Find Mii 2 has a bunch of new hats including; Epona, ArWing, top hat, pirate hat, and many more.
New 3D Puzzles - The new puzzles are found in the same menu where the old puzzles were. The new puzzles are 24 or 40 pieces and have pieces you can only get from SpotPass. Some of the new puzzles include Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and Star Fox 64 3D.
Accomplishments - Achievements specifically for Mii Plaza.
eShop Updates
- The eShop loads faster.
- You can now add the exact amount you need to buy something. You don't have to add funds to a wallet if you don't want to anymore.
- You can now save your credit card info to your system.
- You can now queue up to 10 downloads and download them through SpotPass while the system is in sleep mode.
- You can now redeem download codes. The option is under Settings/Other on the eShop.
- Downloadable demos are available now depending on what region your 3DS is from. Japan has demos right now. Maybe the rest of us will get demos on Thursday.
- Developers can now put DLC on the eShop. No DLC that I know of is available yet though.
FAQ
Q: Are Ambassador games and status transferred over with the System Transfer?
Yes.
Nintendo explains it all - http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/data_transfer.jsp
Q: Where is the messaging?
A: The messaging will come in the form of a downloadable application on the eShop called SwapNote. It's basically email for 3DS. It doesn't look like it will be available this week and I don't know when it will be available.
Q: Do all those Miis I got from Mario Kart 7 work with Mii Plaza games?
A: No.
Q: Where are my GBA games?
I keep mine in a shoe box under my bed. Err... They're coming by the end of the year.
Q: Fucking Nintendo, it's 2011!
For the rest of this month, it is 2011.
Let me know if there's anything else I should add and I will update this.
