A new system update now available for the portable Nintendo 3DS system adds enhancements, including the ability for users to record 3D videos, updated Nintendo eShop features, new StreetPass Mii Plaza features and enhanced online gaming.

In the Nintendo eShop, 3DS owners can use their credit card to purchase content by adding only the needed funds. Users are able to Cue up the games and videos they want and let the system do the rest in Sleep Mode. Fans of StreetPass Mii Plaza will enjoy updates to Find Mii and Puzzle Swap. Nintendo 3DS owners can transfer photos, audio recordings and games, including save data, to other Nintendo 3DS systems.
