Nintendo 3DS system software is a set of updatable firmware versions, and a software frontend on the Nintendo 3DS video game console. Updates, which are downloaded via the system's Internet connection, allow Nintendo to add and remove features and software.

System Menu

The System Menu is software pre-installed on every 3DS which allows the launching of games from official Nintendo certified game cards, 3DS applications, or DSiWare titles. It runs a GUI similar to the Wii's "Wii Menu" and Nintendo DSi's "DSi Menu". The 3DS runs in permission modes similar to the [[Wii] and DSi], where running in backwards compatibility mode turns off extra hardware and down-clocks the CPU. Using the home button you can bring up the system menu (except for backwards compability which completely soft reset and return to the menu) while in game (or in a 3DS application), similar to the "Home Menu" on the Wii. Like the DSi, game cards can also be hot-swapped while in the menu.

The 3DS applications which comes pre-installed in the system are:

3DS Camera
3DS Sound
Nintendo eShop
3DS Download Play
3DS Messaging System
3D Videos
Activity Log
AR Games
Face Raiders
Mii Maker
Mii Plaza
StreetPass
