System Update

IMPORTANT: The Nintendo 2DS system specifications and the Nintendo 3DS Service are constantly evolving and we may update
or change the Nintendo 2DS system or the Nintendo 3DS Service in whole or in part, without notice to you. Such updates may be
required for you to play new Nintendo 3DS games, enjoy new features, or continue to access the Nintendo 3DS Service. After the
Nintendo 2DS menu is updated, any existing or future unauthorized technical modification of the hardware or software of your
Nintendo 2DS system, or the use of an unauthorized device in connection with your system, will render the system permanently
unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorized modification of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 2DS system will be
removed. Failure to accept the update may render games and new features unplayable.
The Nintendo 2DS system automatically updates a list to help limit the use of inappropriate words and a list of access points that can be
used for network services offered by Nintendo. No prior notice for these or other 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 "Accept" to receive such updates.
NOTE: A broadband wireless network connection is required to connect to the Internet and perform a system update unless you are
performing a system update from a Game Card. See page 44 for more information on setting up a connection.

Format System Memory

IMPORTANT: You should delete your Nintendo eShop account first (unless you have registered a Nintendo Network ID
on your system), then format your System Memory, prior to selling, recycling, or otherwise transferring your system
to any third party.
Format System Memory will erase any data saved in System Memory and return the system to its factory-default state. The system
will keep any updates you have made with the System Update feature.
IMPORTANT: The following data cannot be restored if it is erased:
• All save data in System Memory including your friend list, Notifications, and step count information
• System Settings data
• Built-in software save data
• All photos in System Memory
• Software added to the system1 and its save data
• Nintendo Network ID registration3
Also the following data on your SD Card:2
• Downloadable software1 and its save data
• Downloadable content1
• Extra data
• Backups of save data
NOTE: The photos, audio, and other such data on your SD Card are not erased even if you format system memory. If you plan to
transfer your system to another person, use a computer or other device to erase the data on the SD Card.
1 If you have not deleted your Nintendo eShop account, you can re-download these from Nintendo eShop free of charge unless they
are no longer available because distribution has ended. (If this software was on a system linked to a Nintendo Network ID, the same
Network ID must be linked to the new system.)
2 If the system contains an SD Card on which software or save data is saved, and you remove that card before formatting System
Memory, the data on the SD Card will not be deleted but you will no longer be able to use it.
3 Your Nintendo Network ID is unlinked (not erased) when you format the System Memory. You can re-link your ID by choosing
Link an Existing ID from the Nintendo Network ID Settings option in System Settings (see page 43).
