Why Didnt My Nintendo 3ds Download Game Go

Why

How much free space do you have on your SD card and how big is the game you are trying to download? People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility. I don't think they know.

If your Nintendo 3DS system update failed to download, then you will find yourself locked out of the Nintendo eShop. Fortunately, there are several options for dealing with 3DS update errors.

These instructions for fixing 3DS errors apply to all variations of the Nintendo 3DS including the 2DS.

What Are System Updates?

Most electronic devices need updates from time to time. Occasionally, you are prompted to perform a system update on your Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL. These updates install performance enhancements including faster software, new applications, and options that make navigating the system menu and the Nintendo game store easier. New anti-piracy measures are usually put in place during updates as well.

How to Fix a 3DS Update Error

If a system update failure happens to your 3DS, don't panic. Here's an easy fix:

  1. Turn off your Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL, then turn the power back on.

  2. Immediately hold down the L button, R button, A button, and Up on the D-pad.

  3. Keep holding the buttons until the system update screen boots up again.

  4. Tap OK on the update screen.

Tips for When You Still Can't Update

Before you contact Nintendo's customer service department, try a few other things to get your 3DS to complete a system update:

  1. Try again later. If the update timed out because of network interference, it might work fine if you retry.

  2. Temporarily disable your router's firewall during the update. Don't forget to re-enable it when the update is complete.

  3. Check for wireless interference. A system update requires a steady Wi-Fi signal, so a weak signal can prevent a system update from completing.

  4. Reset your internet connection. Turn off your modem and router, then turn them back on and try updating again.
