 [![Nintendo 3DS System Update Available](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-3ds-system-update-available.jpg "Nintendo 3DS System Update Available")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-3ds-system-update-available.jpg)Those of you enjoying the vast library of the Nintendo 3DS may have seen that a new update is available for the handheld system. The update brings the system to 11.9.0-42J.

We are a bit late to the party but do not worry; It’s not a particularly exciting update, but it does improve the all-important system stability.
