Hey guys! Fencer6 here! Today I'm going to be talking about thew 3DS update. Usually, when the 3DS gets an update very few things change and we really don't notice. But with the 9.0.0-20 U (yeah, they couldn't just call it 9.0.1-it has to have a fancy 20-U) it changes things a considerable bit. Before we get into the cool stuff here are a few tidbits about the update-

  1. You can now take screenshots of your home menu (yay?)
  2. The Eshop has been 'improved' to make it easier for you to see demos, videos, and user reviews of new games (so basically more free advertising for them)
  3. Just random minor stability improvements. 
OK, now here's the cool part- they now have changeable homescreen themes. These themes can change the home screen look, sounds, and button sprites!


Pre-installed in the update are asic: Red, Basic: Blue, Basic: Yellow, Basic: Pink, and Basic: Black, but lots of other super cool ones are available for purchase in the new 'Theme Shop'. Below is a list of all available themes.
