While everyone’s been clamoring and complaining over the new Xbox dashboard update, Nintendo’s been quietly updating their new handheld. Loaded with a ton of new features, the 3DS is now ready for the holidays, giving kids and adults a whole new way to create modern, Gameboy Camera-like experiences with the use of 3D video shooting capabilities and the additional stop-motion mode. 

Along with the aforementioned 3D recoding stuff, here’s a few other things to look out for:

• 3D live, video recording with editing features, as well as new shooting modes (interval, stop-motion) 
• You can now join games that your friends are playing with the “Ok to Join” feature
• Street Pass Mii’s are now added to the Mii Plaza
• Street Pass gets new puzzle and Find Mii gets a new quest
• Ability to transfer 3DS eShop software over to another 3DS (limited to only 5 instances total)
• eShop now allows the storing of Credit Card information
• ‘Accomplishments’ have been added to Mii Plaza, which work a little like achievements

This new update for the 3DS is available now and can be accessed through it directly.
