After shutting down eShop, Nintendo released firmware updates for 3DS, leaving pirated games with nowhere to go.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the handwritten clues delivered in the past, X01, rain and snow! CTOnews.com, May 24 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- since the online store for Nintendo's 3DS handset closed, many players may have thought the company would stop releasing patches for the system. After all, users can no longer access online stores, and the need for stability updates is relatively small. However, Nintendo recently released an unexpected update for 3DS, but it caused dissatisfaction among players.

3DS's digital store, eShop, has been closed to buy new games, but the latest firmware update prevents users from cracking the handset to run pirated games. Players think that if 3DS is still supported by Nintendo, this is understandable, but this is not the case. Although players can still legally buy physical versions of some 3DS games from Nintendo, many third-party and digital-only games are not available after eShop is shut down. Now this update makes it more difficult to save these games unless players are willing to buy them through scalpers.

CTOnews.com noted that many Nintendo fans have warned others online not to download the latest updates if they have not cracked 3DS. Many fans have pointed out that there is no need to update 3DS in the first place.

Players who have cracked their handsets can safely update, and it's not clear why Nintendo launched an update for a handset it no longer supports. According to some players, the update changes system settings, Internet browsers, main menus, and even abandoned stores. With that in mind, it seems to be targeting pirated games, although Nintendo did not confirm it. In any case, the latest developments have only made many Nintendo fans even more depressed.
