For your Monday:

Who knows why these things happen, but it looks like those of us in the Americas have already gotten notice of our first update for the Nintendo 3DS. A partial transcript is below

Update Notice

March 27, 2011

Thank you for purchasing the Nintendo 3DS™ system.

System Update 1.1.0-1U is available and provides improvements to the overall system performance. As an added bonus, this update also includes the 3D music video "White Knuckles" by OK Go for your enjoyment.

*Please note that the "White Knuckles" music video is provided for a limited time and may be deleted from your system with subsequent updates.

After updating my own system, I've noticed that the video displaces the "Health and Safety Information" from the far left of the Home Menu. The information is still available further along the menu, so don't fret.

Additionally, after viewing the video myself, it is confirmed that it will be removed with the next update, so get it while you can!

 

You. Happy? Share that happiness and chat with us at the N+ forums! wink

Surprised that Håvard's the only one that focused on that last bit of information. Their deleting anything off of your console should be cause for outrage yet people seem to just take it in stride...

It'd be like Google's being able to remotely delete anything off your Android phone... oh wait... they can.

At the start of the update the progress bar didn't seem to advance, but at the end the update went well p

I hope the next update is the one in May that includes the browser (sadly NOT OPERA) and the eShop and the first GameBoy and GameBoy Color games (hope they're Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX p

p For now, "eShop" is the name of the store for digital purchases in the Nintendo 3DS, isn't it? Like Wii Shop or DSi Shop:
