System Update
IMPORTANT: The Nintendo 3DS System specifications and the Nintendo 3DS Service are constantly evolving and we may
update or change the Nintendo 3DS System or the Nintendo 3DS Service in whole or in part, without notice to you. Such
updates may be required for you to play new Nintendo 3DS games, enjoy new features, or continue to access the Nintendo 3DS
Service. After the Nintendo 3DS menu is updated, any existing or future unauthorized technical modification of the hardware
or software of your Nintendo 3DS System, or the use of an unauthorized device in connection with your system, will render the
system permanently unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorized modification of the hardware or software of your
Nintendo 3DS system will be removed. Failure to accept the update may render games and new features unplayable.
The Nintendo 3DS system automatically updates a list to help limit the use of inappropriate words and a list of access points
that can be used for network services offered by Nintendo. No prior notice for these or other minor automatic updates will be
displayed on the screen. For other system updates, a notice will be displayed on the screen, and you will need to select “Accept”
to receive such updates.
NOTE: A broadband wireless network connection is required to connect to the Internet and perform a system update.
See page 59 for more information on setting up a connection.
Format System Memory
IMPORTANT: You should format your Nintendo eShop account first, then your System Memory, prior to selling,
recycling, or otherwise transferring your system to any third party. For more information about privacy and the
protection of your personal information, see the Nintendo 3DS System Privacy Policy on page 94.
NOTE: The photos, audio, and other such data on your SD Card are not erased even if you format system memory. If you plan to
transfer your Nintendo 3DS system to another person, use a computer or other device to erase the data on the SD Card.
Format System Memory will erase any data saved in System Memory and return the system to its factory-default state. The system
will keep any updates you have made with the System Update feature.
IMPORTANT: The following data cannot be restored if it is erased:
• All save data in System Memory including your friend list, Notifications, and step count information
• System Settings data
• Built-in software save data
• All photos in System Memory
• Software added to the system* and its save data
• Software added to the SD Card* and its save data. (If the system contains an SD Card on which software or save data is saved,
and you remove that card before formatting System Memory, the data on the SD Card will not be deleted but you will no
longer be able to use it.)
* You can re-download these from Nintendo eShop free of charge unless they are no longer available because distribution
has ended.
