A redditor recently posted an image showing off a Nintendo 3DS prepaid card which can be used to purchase items on the forthcoming Nintendo 3DS eShop.
The Nintendo 3DS prepaid card was found at a store in the United States, and if legit, shows that the firmware update which will include the eShop and web browser will be coming this month as Nintendo has previously stated.

I was there when this hit the front page!
I upvoted it!
Wow, didn’t realise it hit the front page. Great stuff : ) Hopefully this means the May firmware update is coming very shortly.
I have the 3DS subreddit as a personal reside, it showed up on my front page…
Thought it couldn’t have hit the main front page as there wasn’t enough upvotes. Will have to subscribe to the 3DS subreddit. Already subscribed to the Nintendo and Pokemon subreddits along with others.
can someone post a link
What link are you looking for?
I bet May 17th is the system update day. :)
A link to the picture but nvm i saw it, pretty cool. And hope they give us a date for the update soon :)
I hope they don’t give us a date for the release. When Teddy Roosevelt’s dog was released in Nintendogs + Cats, I was overjoyed to see the SpotPass notification light blink, and if they don’t say anything, it would be all the more exciting when it DOES come out.
I felt the same way when I got a StreetPass notification from walking past a 3DS display at GameStop…seeing the notification LED come up is pretty exciting
It will probably come out between May 17th through May 24th.
This is why I follow you on twitter.
Does anyone know about water damage to a nintendo ds game-card?
what can i do to fix it? The game was Pokemon Black. I left it in my shorts and washed them but then i remembered it was in the pocket so i ran to the washing machine but it was to late it was wet. :(
*cry cry* because i also lost my nintendogs+cats game(i think i accidentally threw it away in a bag or i left it at my cousins house, once you lose something there you’ll never ever see it again)
