– Reviews News
It seems unbelievable to say, but what many fans never imagined happened: Nintendo he decided to go out last night new software updates for 3DS and Wii Uthus demonstrating that support for both consoles is, for the moment, still active.
A decidedly surprising decision, given that now both consoles have been to withdraw of a market where Nintendo Switch (find the OLED edition model Splaton 3 on Amazon) has been incredibly successful.
The Nintendo 3DS has therefore been officially updated to version 11.16.0-48while for the Wii U, theupdate 5.5.6: This is most likely a strategy used to prepare consoles for the impending closure of online stores.
Currently, many details are not available on the actual innovations implemented, since Nintendo has limited itself to describing everything as stability improvementsbut thanks to a reliable dataminer, we know which areas of the consoles were involved.
As reported by OatmealDome, the new update would not only change some elements of the native firmwarebut it would have brought new features also to the module for the system friendshipsla Web browser and Online Store.
The online store is probably the real reason for this update: soon it will no longer be possible to buy new games and the house of Kyoto will want make sure it's no problem in the future with the portable platform.
The official patch notes say the only change is to "stability". Maybe Nintendo just wanted to see the 3DS die out by adding another "stability" note to this page.https://t.co/33ZIwgh4tv pic.twitter.com/VkBScx5Nf5

As for the Wii U, the novelties are much rarer: OatmealDome has in fact found exclusively references to the menu and settings of the console, without any specific reference to the eShop.
In any case, it is certainly a curious update: we remember in fact that is the first time that the Switch's local predecessor is getting a new hotfix patch from 2022.

If you are part of that group of gamers who still do not want to give up the 3DS and Wii U, we would like to point out that from now on you can download the new software updates for the consoles, which they may turn out to be the last of their history.
The closure of the eShop servers is an act that has caused many protests from fans, but they have not managed to change their minds for the big N: this means that soon it will no longer be possible to play at least 1000 games.
And among these there is also one of the chapters of Fire emblem the most successful, whose story will remain incomplete for many actors after the official closure.
