Believe it or not, despite Nintendo‘s gradual discontinuation of features and services on the 3DS, they are still releasing firmware updates for the handheld. The previous one released in November of last year, and it has been 6 years since the last time that the 3DS received an update of any significance.
With this update, announced by Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account earlier tonight, the firmware has been updated to 11.15.0-47. Although the patch notes have not been released in English yet, rough translations of the Japanese patch notes, along with their pattern for 3DS updates as of late, indicate that it’s nothing more than the usual confirmation that “further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.
