System Update
IMPORTANT:
The New Nintendo 2DS XL system specifications and the Nintendo 3DS Service are constantly evolving and we may
update or change the New Nintendo 2DS XL system or the Nintendo 3DS Service in whole or in part, without notice to you. Such up-
dates may be required for you to play new Nintendo 3DS games, enjoy new features, or continue to access the Nintendo 3DS Service.
After the Nintendo 3DS menu is updated, any existing or future unauthorized technical modification of the hardware or software
of your New Nintendo 2DS XL system, or the use of an unauthorized device in connection with your system, will render the system
permanently unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorized modification of the hardware or software of your New Nintendo
2DS XL system will be removed. Failure to accept the update may render games and new features unplayable.
The New Nintendo 2DS XL system automatically updates a list to help limit the use of inappropriate words and a list of access points
that can be used for network services offered by Nintendo. No prior notice for these or other minor automatic updates will be
displayed on the screen. For other system updates, a notice will be displayed on the screen, and you will need to select “Accept” to
receive such updates.
NOTE:
A broadband wireless network connection is required to connect to the Internet and perform a system update unless you are
performing a system update from a Game Card. See page 28 for more information on setting up a connection.
Format System Memory
IMPORTANT: You should delete your Nintendo eShop account first then format your System Memory, prior to selling,
recycling, or otherwise transferring your system to any third party.
Format System Memory will erase any data saved in System Memory and return the system to its factory-default state. The system
will keep any updates you have made with the System Update feature.
IMPORTANT: The following data cannot be restored if it is erased:
• All save data in System Memory including your friend list, Notifications, and step count information
• System Settings data
• Built-in software save data
• All photos in System Memory
• Software added to the system1 and its save data
Also the following data on your SD Card:2
• Downloadable software1 and its save data
• Downloadable content1
• Extra data
• Backups of save data
NOTE:
The photos, audio, and other such data on your microSD card are not erased even if you format system memory. If you plan to
transfer your system to another person, use a computer or other device to erase the data on the microSD card.
1 You can re-download these from Nintendo eShop free of charge unless they are no longer available because distribution has ended..

If the system contains an microSD card on which software or save data is saved, and you remove that card before formatting
System Memory, the data on the microSD card will not be deleted but you will no longer be able to use it.
