3DS Update Now Available: Adds Miiverse, L+R to activate camera, etc

Are they system friends or just Miiverse friends?

System friends. Check your friend list on your 3DS if you have some friends on your Wii U friend list. I'd think the other person would have to have linked their ids for it to work, so might not transfer everyone yet.

Nice. Wish I didn't have to use Snipping Tool to get the screenshot from the Miiverse page, and Miiverse on 3DS is really slow, which isn't surprising considering RAM constraints on 3DS. Still really cool that it's on there.
 
Does NNID mean account system? I can buy something on eShop now and not worry about getting a new system? Does it extend to past purchases as well?

No, you still need to do transfers and the like.
The thing is, it unifies eshop wallets, so its like the FIRST step to an unified account system.

Interesting. I don't have my own 3DS around so I can't check, but I've got another here with no NNID that I've been browsing Miiverse with.

It runs decently when there's nothing suspended, at least. Though that's the worst time to be using it.
 
So this is the moment I become Canadian forever?

I don't even have a NID actually. :lol Is it really necessary to create one from now on? Or even to access the eShop?
 
Can I deactivate the shoulder button for camera thing? That shit is constantly getting bumped on accident.
 
So it looks like this really is a "true" account system now. The NNID is tied to the system, and can only be tied to one 3DS family system at one time, but the purchases are tied to the NNID. You can unlink the NNID from the system and then link it to a new system.

Only thing left is 3DS/Wii U cross buy, or at least discount buy, imo.
 
Dang it you have to launch the eShop at least once (after the update) before doing a transfer. And the eShop won't open.

I wanted to see if that looked different.

This update makes it so that you have to press both L and R instead of just the one button. I think that minimises accidental button presses significantly.
 
Can anyone making a new NNID tell me the password restrictions? Like, character minimum, if it requires a number, etc. I forgot mine but if I knew these I'd probably be able to figure it out.
 
For 3D screenshots, make sure the 3D slider is on before hitting Home. The game stores the screenshot when you go to the Home menu, and 3D is software side-- the game itself is switching from 3D mode to 2D mode, so the 3DS can't just make a 3D version if the game was suspended in 2D.
 
I guess it makes sense but the screenshots are only in the state that you leave the game, so there are some "fake" 3D screenshots.

edit: wow just as I post.

The transfer still requires two systems, so people who lose it or have it stolen might be in trouble.
