REGARDING SYSTEM UPDATES
IMPORTANT: After the Nintendo 2DS system is updated, any existing or future unauthorised technical modication of the hardware or soft-
ware of your Nintendo 2DS system, or use of an unauthorised device in connection with your system, may render the system permanently
unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorised modication of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 2DS system may be removed.
Failure to accept the update may render games unplayable.
REGARDING AUTOMATIC SYSTEM UPDATES
From time to time, the Nintendo 2DS system will carry out automatic updates, such as updates to a list which prevents the use of words
that may cause users discomfort, and/or updates to an internal database of wireless access points which allow you to access online services
provided by Nintendo.
No prior notice for these or other such minor automatic updates will be displayed on the screen. For other system updates, a notice will be
displayed on the screen, and you will need to select I ACCEPT to install such updates.
Install updates to the HOME Menu and applications if any are available.
You must be connected to the internet to perform system updates. Congure your internet connection settings before using system update
(page 56). (When performing a system update from a Game Card, an internet connection is not necessary.)
Note:
•
System updates cannot be carried out if the battery charge is running low.
•
Check the Nintendo website for a summary of update details.
System Update
Transferring from systems in the Nintendo 3DS family using
“Wireless Transfer (Limited Data)”
If you have used the “Wireless Transfer (Limited Data)” method to transfer data to a New Nintendo 3DS,
you can check that the save data has been transferred by using the Save Data Management option.
Save data can also be deleted by using this option.
Format System Memory
Select this option to delete all data saved to the system, and return it to factory settings.
Note:
•
If you have linked a Nintendo Network ID to your system, you will need an internet connection to format the system memory.
•
The system version will remain at the current version even if you format the system memory.
If you opt to format your system, the following data will be
deleted and cannot be recovered:
•
Content saved in the system memory such as friend list, notication and step data
•
Application save data
•
All photos saved to the system memory
•
Changes made to the System Settings
•
Software saved to the system (see rst note below) and its save data
•
Data saved to the SD card (see second note below)
– Downloadable software (see rst note below) and its save data
– Add-on content (see rst note below)
– Extra data
– Save data backups
•
The link to a Nintendo Network ID (see third note below)
Note:
•
Software can be redownloaded from Nintendo eShop at no extra cost. Please note that there are certain cases where software may be temporarily or
permanently withdrawn from Nintendo eShop. Should this happen, you will no longer be able to redownload that software. If your system is
linked to a Nintendo Network ID, you will need to use this same ID to redownload software (page 54).
•
If an SD card that contains software or save data is not inserted when the formatting occurs, the data on that SD card will not be deleted but it will
become unusable.
•
Formatting your system will not delete your Nintendo Network ID. You will be able to link the same ID to your system again by selecting LINK AN
EXISTING ID in Nintendo Network ID Settings.
When Disposing of or Giving Away Your System
When you format the system memory, photos and recordings on the SD card and your Nintendo eShop Account Activity and funds will not
be deleted. When giving your Nintendo 2DS system to another person permanently, please use a computer to delete data on the SD card and,
if your system is not linked to a Nintendo Network ID, ensure you delete your Account Activity in Nintendo eShop before formatting your system.
If your system is linked to a Nintendo Network ID...
After linking a Nintendo Network ID to your system, you will not be able to link it to any other system even after formatting. You will
need to use System Transfer (page 66) to link your ID to another system instead of formatting.
