As we do with every Nintendo Direct livestream, we’ve collected all the megatons, minitons, and even a folder-ton from the Japanese/European/U.S. announcements.
Yeah-yuh:

- New 3DS firmware slated for April 25, adding support for folders in the menu (pictured, each folder holds up to 60 items) — watch it in action
- The firmware update also supports software patches and updates, like the one Nintendo has planned to fix Mario Kart 7’s Maka Wuhu glitch
