The long awaited Nintendo 3DS system update is now available in both the United States and Europe! I’m currently downloading the update as we speak and can not wait to test out the new features. The Nintendo 3DS system update allows users to access the Nintendo 3DS eShop and web browser along with the Pokedex 3D and Excitebike 3D. What does everyone think of the update? Any problems?
Besides the reported glitch with Ridge Racer (which I don’t have), everything looks good!
There were some issues yesterday with the eShop (maintenance probably due to the access overload), but otherwise, it looks FLAWLESS. Hopefully it’ll stay that way.
Pokedex 3D is very nice, and I can expect a lot of time wasting will be given specifically to that game LOL
As for Excitebike 3D–looks very awesome. Only played a little bit of it so far, but must say, it’s extremely fun.
Despite the huge delay (the update didn’t go up until 12:30am EST over here), everything’s better than I expected~! And the internet browser is a lot faster and nicer. (still no flash support orz)
hey on the wii if you have someone with a hat put it in the mii parade and he can join my gang called the hat gang.
I always get error code 005-5819 when I try to access the eShop. Otherwise the internet connection is just fine so something is wrong here. A friend has the same issue – maybe it’s related to living in Switzerland (and our infamous Nintendo exclusive-importer Waldmeier).
just called the nintendo support of ch
they say it should work this evening
but they didnt even ask my error code
so…:(
but i guess it will work tonight
Sadly, same error code in Switzerland for me, I hope the shop will be available here anyway -_- (we already cannot use our stars, this would be a bit too much)
I also life in Switzerland and have the same problem ;(.
Me too, sent a very friendly message to Waldmeier, asking how many years we have to wait for the eStore…
Same for me… the guy at Waldmeier told me it’d work today, but it still does not… -.-
cant go int to the shop
error 005-5819
HELP!
No errors here I’m afraid. I’m sure they will be resolved shortly : )
Everyone that keep getting the error codes, just keep trying. It happened to me. I even got one saying that they were have maintenance done. Eventually I got through and got my Excite Bike and Pokedex 3d.
I’ve just this second downloaded the Pokedex 3D and Excitebike and haven’t come across any errors. Hopefully they will be resolved soon.
Got mine downloaded. Although I downright REFUSE to buy anything until Nintendo sort out them prices. $3.99 = £2.50 roughly. NOT £3.70. I am NOT paying an extra £1.20 than America on the same content just because I don’t live there. £3 fair enough but this is just robbery.
I’m with you there pal, it don’t seem fair.
Nintendo is soooo mean, I can’t download it when the console is configured to my home country Honduras, I have to change my adress to the US…. sigh… The same thing happenned with Wii, but at least I can download stuff…

I am disappointed with the lack of games on the shop. They had a very long time to prep this shop launch and I expected there to be a pretty nice list of old games in the retro section but instead we get 3 plus excite bike. No links awakening which was shown at other cons many times. The browser I will likely never use since its wifi only and I have a nice laptop for that.
I am glad for the features I was kinda suprised they had a digital shop where they are selling almost the entire launch line up for the 3ds. However digital games should never be the same prices as their physical counterparts. I guess in a bind stuck somewhere I might buy one off the store but the expense is a turn off.
I have not looked through the dsi ware stuff yet so I don’t what titles they brought over. Generally though at least the shop is there so hopefully they get off their butts and give us some games.
I tried them both and it’s so awesome!
Nintendo should have made the release date June 7th and 6th since it took so long to come out. When the release finally came after 1130pm central time, I could not access the eShop at first. However, it worked this morning and it is fantastic. I’m not a big fan of the web browser, it is okay. The one on my android is way better.

I found this in the internet (i think that means it can’t connect to the masterserver(because the browser works just fine))
I hope i could help you a bit
I have the same problem as red_alert, same code. I live in Switzerland too. The browser works fine.
I also live in Switzerland. I have the same problem.
Same here (Switzerland). And I am really pissed by now. Noone seems to care.
still doesnt work
keep getting 005-5819
what a bunch of bullshhhh – Nintendo left us waiting for so long and now we’re not getting any access at all here in switzerland. Not enough that my 3DS always crashes during the game “Gost recon:Shadow wars” now it even can’t use it’s normal functions. I’m impressed by such a good system-update, every system-update should be capable of this beautiful and unique: Error-code 005-5819. I already love it.
red_alert
I’ve always the same error too: 005 5819..and I live in Switzerland too…so I think that something is not working…
I noticed the web browser has some loading issues in facebook, and won’t even load twitter at all (I can’t even sign in). Any idea if Nintendo will get these loading issues fixed in the next system update?
live in Switzerland and Nintendo or Waldmeier (no hotline 24/24…just incredible!!!!!!) better fix this cause otherwise I’ll begin a “tam-tam” on the net making more and more people boycotting nintendo products from now!
It’s just incredible how they screw consumers this way!
hey MATT want me as a friend if you do put in my friend code its 171938251427 and my name to regester me is miadoyle
Yeah it’s “great” to be in Switzerland when it comes to Nintendo… no Club (“those who are first to register their game at the club will get the zelda oot soundtrack” – FUCK YOU), no points, no stars, no official support, no website (Waldmeier is a joke) and now this.
Oh and… you know what they’re telling us to do at the FAQ, if we get that error, right? Turn off our microwaves!
I’m sure THAT’s gonna help.
Still doesn’t work… Next step: will have to tell all my neighbours to turn off their microwaves.
chunt morn öpper go dwaldmeier ag abfackle?
PS: Are there absolutely no plans for a Club Nintendo in Switzerland?
@ Hangman
at this point it’s better for them not to come in switzerland with a club cause i will be there that day with a bat just to “take some names and kick some asses”
that’s the best thing could happen these days… saturday Nati on 2-0 VS England then 2-2…
Roger lose the same shameful way he’s lost in those past 7 years against a mid level player, who certainly has courage and power, like Nadal.
Today WiiU announced (what a awful console)…
however for every swiss people here, take my 3ds code: 1891-1175-5602.
see ya people and hope for tomorrow… otherwise waldmeier will be in some serious trouble!
ehm the others from other countries are welcome too :D
Immer no: Fehler – Code 005-5819
Surprise, surprise: It’s still not working.
(Abfackle isch e super Idee)
Dude! I finally got a different error code!
Wow, 005-4270.
That’s where the party’s goin’ on now, fellas!
Ja de fehlercode stinkt!
Me too in switzerland the same error.. the support say to that the server are a little overloaded
I’ve got the same problem, in the same country (Switzerland) … Wieder Mal typisch!

I bought a 3DS in Switzerland, but I am currently in Croatia (and I live here), and I’m getting the same error codes.
I also have trouble when I need to update, and need to try at least several times.
It seems they somehow screwed 3DS for Switzerland costumers
The suport told me to try tomorrow..

Yeah, tomorrow, nice! And all this without having an microwave! ;)

:) no problem I think eshop will come soon! Nintendo won’t abbandon us
They never have until now, so i’m confident it’ll work tomorrow.
If it will not work I call the support and I try to have all the information!
Here the answer:
Bonjour,
Le shop est surchargé au ce moment, veuillez s.v.p. essayer plus tard ou demain matin.
Les meilleures salutations / Mit freundlichen Grüssen

1289 -8248 – 2883
It is 11.15 pm here in CST, and I have been trying to get the system update all day long. I keep getting a message that says “an error has occurred. Unable to update. The system will now be restarted.” I don’t even get an error code. I have been trying all day long and I keep ending up in the same spot. Any advice? It isn’t my I Ferber connection, I already k ow that much. My 3DS is sitting practically on top of the router.
Hm the first time i tried to update i got the same error! But i just had a very poor internet connection and i went to a friend with a better internetconnectuon and it worked! Hope that helps…
He wa söll de scheiss man? Es isch morge und es funtzt immer no nö! Vilicht hilfts wemmer de japaner e atombombe schicket!!
I’ve too the same error code by trying access to the eShop. It still doesn’t work in Switzerland. when it’s still doesn’t work i will call the nintendo support and try to get more information! I hate Waldmeier!
Sorry for bad english!^^
ja klar! dserver sind überlaschtet…
sgit sicher huere vil lüt ide schwiz won 3ds hend und alli grifed zur gliche zit uf de eshop zue, jo woaschainlich.
Dass nöd überlaschted sind, isch wohl klar, das isch Bullshit. Aber chunt vo Waldmeier susch meh als Bullshit und Textbaustei??
This morning it didn’t work (at 7 o clock) now i’m at work I try later with the tethering wi fi acces point..I hope it will work
called waldmeier and hear what they told me: “Mister it’s not a “Swiss” problem! you’re reading this on the internet but it’s a general european problem cause everyone wants to connect to the eshop. try later…and even if you can’t connect what are we supposed to do?”
WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?!?!?!?!?
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM EARLIER THAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(surely they neither bothered to call nintendo europe for an advice about the situation)
MEANWHILE WE CONSUMER ARE SCREWED PAYING A LOT OF MONEY!
Wie gseit… Bullshit. Was für e Überraschig…wahrschinli sinds au no gnervt, dass so viel Lüüt alüüted (oh Wunder)…
Dene Idiote sött mer endlich mal de Importeur-Status entzüche.
What????? In italy works fine, in germany works tot, in French too, only here won’t work! I write the support a second e mail, then I call, I hope is not a problem of this new firmware with e shop is not compatible with our nintendo 3ds from Switzerland! People we have to collaborate against this problem an write to nintendo europe UK and in the big section of nintendo!
IMPORTANT: i have a question for you all!
which one of 3ds do you have? aqua or black?
cause i tried on a black one and it seems working!!!!!!!!
cause i bought 2 3ds and thought the issue was the same as my aqua… 5 minutes ago i thought: why not try with the other one and Voilà… the only issue now is that it is the one linked to my girlfriend…. WHAT THE F**K!
if someone has a solution to error code 005-5819 could you please tell us.
and on my aqua stil doesn’t work GRRRRRRRRRR!
@MATT
I own the black one (first day order) and it doesn’t work, sorry.
@kkls
how incredible!!!! two 3ds in the same room and one works the other not…. MINE DOESN’T work!!!! bwaaaaaaaah
@ Matt: I have the aqua blue 3ds and the eshop is still not working error code 005-5819 :(
i just do not know what to think about anymore…. i perfectly managed to go in the eshop with the black one… but i just won’t to spend money on a 3ds is not mine (yeah sure i paid for it but you know how women are ;) )
ok maybe this will help… my black one (working) is CEH*********2 (dots are numbers just do not want to copy them… how lazy)
the Aqua (not working) one: CEM********7
My aqua which isn’t working is: CEM********[8]
Swiss people shall report this problems to http://20min.ch/, I think we need some publicity of this problem. It also get’s some focus to the Waldmeier AG, which does not provide a good support – neither information about this problems.
@NinGamer
one more with CEM and i will think we buy a defected 3ds from the same batch
now i go to work and i will try this evening but the doubt they are defected is eating me more and more…
I called Waldmeier and they said me if this is the problem i have to send them the console… (for the games that are NOW available for free on the shop they said me it’s not a problem cause maybe is a simple “booting” bug so we have enough time to enjoy them for free later).
Still: what a BAD week is this!
see ya people
this is the answer: Bonjour,
Nous accusons réception de votre message électronique et vous en remercions sincèrement.
Nous avons contacté Nintendo of Europe concernant votre problème (code d’erreur 005-5819). NOE s’en occupe déjà. C’est évident, qu’il s’agit d’un problème avec le serveur en Suisse. En principe, “e-shop” fonctionne.
Nous vous informerons aussitôt que possible de toutes les nouvelles disponibles.
Nous vous remercions d’avance de votre patience et vous prions d’agréer, Monsieur, nos salutations distinguées.
I have a nintendo 3ds aqua blue with the same code, I hope it’s not a defected version.. or I go to change it!
ok this third one (DAVE) almost confirms (at least to me) that they are defected maybe… hope not!
Ok. I’ve called the nintendo Support of Switzerland (Waldmeier). I change my language shortly in German:
Ich habe sie angerufen und sie haben gesagt, dass es in der Schweiz noch nicht verfügbar aufgrund eines Serverproblems ist. Der Mitarbeiter hofft, dass das Ganze bis heute Abend geregelt ist. Waldmeier hat jetzt auch mit Nintendo of Europe kontakt aufgenommen und erwarten noch die Antwort. Dann wollen wir doch mal hoffen dass es heute abend funzt. Achja das Problem ist nur in der Schweiz.
This evening the Nintendo EShop should work!
Verstanden! I change my language to french for this e mail that I have written:
Merci pour votre repondre :)
Si est possible, nous pouvons vous aider avec cette information: nous avons decouvert que e
shop functionnes pas avec le console avec le code CEM au derrière. Mais une console black avec CEH code functionnet
sans probléme (c’est un consumateur de la suisse qui a essayée avec cette console). Je croix que c’est probable une
défaut de la console avec CEM code!
Merci beaucoup pour votre disponibilité j’éspère que mon information séron utiles
pour trouver une solution!
Sorry for my french and english ;) Ich bin Tessiner!
@micu445
can you post the number behind your 3ds?
@MATT My Number: CEF********[7]
pure tu ticinese??? ahahahhaha grandissimo io di belli tu?
I can calm you down about the versions:
I live in switzerland and mine’s serial starts with “CEH …” and ain^t workin either.
My browser does and there’s no problem with access points.
It is also a black one (just for the ones who really thought about tech issues because of the color difference.)
Hope it’ll work soon!
bella ;) del profondo sud, Chiasso!
Ah ok! So this is a problem from me of the server nintendo in Switzerland!
@Matt
Puoi anche aggiungermi con io codice amico, l’ho scritto poco più in su. Tra l’altroho scritto sia a nintendo italia, francia e germania ;) manca solo UK, della serie alziamo un po’ di polverone e facciamoci sentire!! XD
Così magari ci lasciano finalmente usare anche le stelle :(
Anyway, still not working
eheheheh beh io le stelle le uso già… ma solo per l’acquisto dei points… che tra l’altro non sono utilizzabili per il nuovo eshop (vergogna<!)
cmq appena arrivo a casa ti aggiungo!
@Radall
It's not that we thought about a "colour" issue… but we thought different model worked differently for a bug…
However if yours is a CEH it's no more THAT issue… hope for this evening!
Got an answer from the game shop where I bought my 3DS:
“Guten Tag
Der eShop funktioniert nach wie vor nicht. Laut neuesten Meldungen sollte dieser erst ab nächster Woche verfügbar sein.
Freundliche Grüsse
…”
English:
“The eShop isn’t working at the moment. According to latest news, it is not available until next week.”
Hi folks, i still can’t get to the eshop..damn! Nintendo is wayy behind google, apple and sony in terms of online services, they can’t just launch products and updates that are not actually ready to use..
Btw it’s not a swiss only problem, i’m from Bulgaria and my reg. Settings were first Suisse Geneve, then got 005-5819, then changed it to UK, DE, and so on it still doesn’t work. Oh yeah mine’s black, CEH***********2
Good luck
So, I’ve got the same problem.
I live also in Switzerland (3DS bought also in CH) and I have the black 3DS with “CEH…..”
Yesterday it doesn’t work and today in the morning (7 am) I became only the known error.
I hope it works in the evening when I’m back home…
I just got the “Pokedex 3D” into my software menu, but then I try to start it, it is telling me I have to download it first from the shop. Which still isn’t working.
@ NinGamer
Me too …
The good thing from this negative error: we will certainly have too the e – shop, just waiting people!
– 3DS aqua
– switzerland, aaaaarrghhhh
– error code 005-5819
– CEM…
was sölllllll deeee scheissssssss, bitter bitter
PS: 5327-0950-0721 ;-)
Ja schaisse man, lut all dem woni da gseh lauft de eShop also uf de ganze welt nur i de Schwiiz nöd und das söll au na so blibe für es paar täg…….omg echt nur omg.
MATT, Mensch, Dave, Linix und MGiu added….
Lol, da krieg ich de Pokédex 3D, aber zum starte mues ich eShop betrete –> 005-5819
Ganz tolli sach -.-
I purchased 3DS in Zurich, color Cosmo Black, code CEH*****[3], e-shop still isn’t working, and I live in Croatia.
So I think this is problem mostly with Switzerland models
Jetzt gehe ich nach Haus und probiere ich nochmals…hoff es funktioniert jetzt!
What is Nintendo waiting for? It’s too hard to fix our fucking error?
Certo che siamo proprio messo male…poi in Ticino sembriamo del terzo mondo. Solo la Apple ci considera.
I’ve tried a UK Proxy Server with my profile set to England but it still doesn’t work. CEH…[3] Black FWIW.
When will Nintendo fix the error….. :(
hoo…now the error changes from time to time to 005-4800.
for me it’s still 005-5819
In South Africa here and I have two 3DS at my house. The one with a “CEH” serial works and downloads the update, eShop and all the games. The one with the “CEM” downloads the update fine, uses the browser but the shop gives me 005-5819.
Both settings are identically and region is set to UK – England
Anyone have ideas?
They seem to have fixed it. Those that received Error Code: 005-5819 with a “CEH…” serail just try again and it should work.
http://nintendogamer.co.za/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=493:3ds-launch-200-2e-update
yeah thats great know i can get dillons rolling western i haven’t enough money ive only got £1.20p
Ha ha, anch’io dal Ticino non posso connettermi allo Shop: eppure sto nella “grande Lugano”!
…eheh, LucianObi, evidentemente neanche “Re Giorgio” è abbastanza potente per farsi obbedire dalla Nintendo e garantire ai suoi sudditi un servizio funzionante ;-)
@mgiu
Anche google ci considera, anche microsoft! Non siamo in fondo così abbandonati, ticinesi facciamoci sentire!! :D Provato ma ancora niente, a me hanno detto che colpisce solo le console svzzere, io resto convinto che sia un errore del firmware che contrasterà qualche processo (un po’ come in ridge racers)
Secondo me non è colpa delle console, ma dei loro server.
Almeno spero :D
Contattiamo patti chiari e denunciamo l’errore, fcciamo venire iwata dal giappone!
Potrebbe essere il server come lo stesso firmware della console…vedremo
Gente come mai tutto d’un tratto c’ho il pokedex?? xD nemmeno me n’ero accorto
De eShop lauft!!! =D
leck mich am arsch, alter schwede!
stellte region von schweiz auf deutschland um, und plötzlich gehts!
It works!!!
Yeeha, es funzt, grad verschrocke ^^
FUNZIONA!
NINTENDO NON ABBANDONA MAI! NON È PERFETTA MA NON ABBANDONA!!! FELICE COME UNA PASQUA
The system update fails with no error codes and restarts the system over and over and over again… This is in the US, and the unit is virtually on top of the router so the internet connection is fine.
Funzt!
@Maryann Tia Engel Goldman Do you have a slow internet? or maybe the server is overloaded!
Still failing for me 24 hours later. Same no error code system rebooting message. Slow server is possible. I pay extra for a high speed internet package, so I don’t think it’s my speed. I wonder if I need to go back to factory settings (format). I don’t think I’d lose much except my internet set-up which is easy to redo. I’ll keep trying for a few more days and then probably resort to trying that. Thanks…
ive waited 2 days and nights and guess what
its still saying the same thing over and over again
wow ive been trying to update it but all it says is the system is up to date…..
i have the same problem too Maryann Tia Engel Goldman
dang right now its 6/11/11
if i have waited a month for it to be fixed and it isn’t ILL GET SO ANGRYYYY
they say to access the e-shop is to have the pokedex 3d demo with that it will automatically send you to the e-shop with no trouble or so they say.
But my biggest problem is that my bro got the pokedex and i didn’t, so in short i cant do what i just posted here by my bro said his e-shop is fine and running smoothly
P.S.
i did update mine same with my bro.
well i have got the pokedex and the ds game’s but now its blocked me from getting pokemon on my pokedex theres defntly something wrong with the e-shop.
