      i would do it, ruining people's fun is really great, but i would had done an update that detects if your console is hacked, and it unhacks it and then patches the exploit.
      then, include it on a MK7 update

        Just by existing you're doing a great job already. No need to get proactive.

    the update wasn’t designed to break the hacks it’s just incompatible with them because why would they code an update with a hack in mind. moronic idiots.

          That's been done for ages in all consoles that had "stability" updates, there is a reason certain firmwares were required to hack consoles to begin with.

    because too many youtubers were making videos about hacking their 3ds that it became a bad look for nintendo. i guess.

    Why would pirates apply the update in the first place? It's not like there will be any new games that will require it anyway.

      you can play online unrestricted even with cfw as long as your firmware is updated (and the servers for the games are up)

    isn't 'never fricking update' a mantra for hacking consoles?
    and aren't you supposed to block automatic updates anyway?

      Also prevents people from hacking their clean 3DS, they'd be more likely to update

          Hey don't shit on it.
          I bought a PSP a couple of years ago for cheap and hacked it. I got a lot of legitimate fun out of it that way. The idea of buying a super old console and then hacking it to play a huge collection of games is great.

          If you buy a used 3ds to hack, there is bow a chance it won't be good for that.

            so ask the seller what firmware it is before you buy how hard is that

              also, 99% of all sellers won't have touched it in a long ass time and won't be assed to update it because it's not like that would increase the value or anything

      That's the mantra song for any DRM - it punishes the people who buy games the most.

    because they plan to (re)release 3DS games for the Switch successor.
    If you have an effortless way to obtain a game a publisher is trying to sell you, people are more likely to go for the effortless path. Why else would Nintendo patch a dead console when people were attempting to buy the console in drove due to it being dead?

      dont forget if people play old games on old console they arent buying new console in first place. Planned obsolescence includes destroying the old to force buying the new.

    If your 3DS isn't hacked, but you also haven't turned it on in the last few days, you should charge it up, turn it on, and hack it right now without updating. that way if you do want to play it in the future you won't need to wait for the hacking scene to break this update too, which they'll likely do out of spite if nothing else, but it might take a little while.

    they LITERALLY wouldn't care anymore about the 3DS but some dude really had to release the most anticipated game of the year (Zelda Tears of the Kingdom) two weeks early
    Even in the warez scene folks only release games 2 or 3 days before it officially hits the store shelves

    I think this is Nintendos way of saying FRICK YOU ALL

    >"Oh, but you can grab this update!"

    EVEN if this didn't patch jailbreaking, what's the point? Why would someone even bother connecting to the internet,let alone download an update that might, MIGHT patch some bug you have a 0.000000001% chance of encountering? It's not like any of the big three do patch notes, god forbid people know what bugs have been fixed
