3DS firmware update fixes Ridge Racer, adds auto-updates
Nintendo issued a new firmware update last night, which fixes the Ridge Racer 3D freezing bug, offers usability tweaks, and adds automatic firmware updates.
The Nintendo 3DS had a firmware update on June 6 that added the long-awaited eShop, but it had the unfortunate (and bizarre) side-effect of adding a screen freezing bug to Ridge Racer 3D. A new firmware update went live in the wee hours last night, which apparently squashes that bug, and adds a few new features.
Among other improvements, Nintendo lists "overall system stability" tweaks. It also claims we can get automatic firmware updates through a wireless connection, which will download without installing. Once the download is finished, a dialogue from the Home menu will let you install the new firmware. This was promised before the system launch, mostly as a step to combat piracy.
Oddly, the June 6 update also mentioned automatic updates. We've asked Nintendo to clarify the difference between the auto-update features in both sets of firmware.

I'm not saying there's issues, just that it's not very fast. I have a 10Mbit connection, and I know the couple megs that all these downloads are shouldn't take as long as they do. But as Cloud8521 said, it's to ensure a proper end-result. And I'm not complaining, it's just Conan brought up the idea that the firmware update went extremely fast, when it was simply installed automatically.
