Update For 3DS Brings Miiverse To Handheld & More
A forthcoming update for the 3DS handheld brings the Miiverse to the system as well as greater convenience at the eShop.
The update – expected in December – lets you purchase software on either your Wii U and 3DS with a combined balance (as long as both are registered with the same Nintendo Network ID).
Miiverse is also coming to the handheld via the update. You can then share game tips, doodles, etc. with a Nintendo Network ID.
Finally, later this month (separate from the Dec. update), 3DS users can use YouTube – including the ability to search videos on the bottom screen while watching them on the top.

Our Take:
This is a great convenience, and it would be cool if Nintendo went even further and allowed you to buy Virtual Console games once and transfer and play them on both systems.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
