...So there's no more May release or something like that?

 

[shakirmoledina]

oh finally the shop opens. What kind of browser? Are they gonna use Opera or Chrome? I believe they will drop Opera and use chrome unless someone else has info.

 

[ZaeZae64]

What about the UK? My friend would probably like to know considering he has a 3DS.

 

[Forstride]

Lol, so much for a May release. *sigh* It better at least launch with some good titles. If they don't have the Link's Awakening port, Imma be pissed.

Same here.
This sucks

 

[Snailface]

Of course, I knew it. They had to wait until summer school starts so I can't enjoy this update on my May vacation.

Nintendo breaks my heart again.

 

[KingVamp]

Better than rushing right?

 

[Lucifer666]

Yeah what about the UK?

*tosses UK 3DS and goes to get an American one.*

 

[Nebz]

Well we have a set date so I'm good. I don't find this to be that big of a deal although it would be nice to have somewhat of a reason as to why it's coming early June now... but it's whatever.

 

[Snailface]

Given that it's late June 6 in US and then June 7 in Japan, the time zone difference would make the release about the same time. I bet it's a simultaneous worldwide release. Not completely sure though.

Edit: Also, isn't this release the same time as E3? Hmm.

Update: Confirmed worldwide simultaneous release.

[EnigmaXtreme]

[omgpwn666]

Looking forward to this update mainly so 3DS is complete... And it gets rid of that damn dog video.

 

[dinofan01]

This update needs to hurry up. I need something to play on this thing till 3DS. With other things going on in my life I wish I waited to buy.

 

[prowler]

This makes June more awesome.

I can wait, we all did agree that we would have to wait for the update when we bought the 3DS anyway.

 

[Zorua]

Hell yeah one day before my birthday!
I can't wait!
By the way, weren't these supposed to be a part of the May update?
