Bring on the Miiverse!
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/36156
Nintendo has released System Software version 7.0 for Nintendo 3DS, which includes Miiverse support in addition to several other features. Notably, the system update allows users to link a Nintendo Network ID they've already established on Wii U, or create a new Nintendo Network ID. This functionality allows players with Wii U and 3DS to share a common wallet across the eShop on both systems.
Aside from Miiverse, another smaller enhancement included is a change in the way the user launches the 3DS Camera app. Previously, a user would press either L or R from the home screen. In System Software version 7.0, a user must press L and R simultaneously to launch the app. This should prevent the user from launching it by accident.
Another change with this system update is the removal of the 3DS system transfer limit. Previously, the system transfer could only be performed 5 times. That limit has been removed in System Software 7.0.
With the 3DS Miiverse launch, the following games have already received communities in the service:
Is anyone else having problems with this on their 3DS?
I don't own a Wii U so I had to set up a new Nintendo Network ID. I followed all the simple steps and it was just like registering any other product. But when I go to launch the Miiverse from the Home menu, the first thing it asks you to do it log into your Nintendo Network ID. I type in my password and it says it's invalid. I tried a couple variations (even though I'm pretty sure it's correct since you have to type it in twice when you set it up), and still invalid. I do the whole "Forgot Password?" thing to set up a temporary password. I use that temp password and create a new password yet again. That seemed to work fine. I then go back into the Miiverse and type in my new password and it says it's invalid.
The same thing now happens when I try to use the 3DS eShop. The first thing it now asks you to do is to log into your Nintendo Network ID name/pass. I attempt to do that and it says that the password is invalid. So now I'm locked out of the 3DS eShop.
Anyone else?

I'm always accidentally launching the camera app which quite honestly I never actually use. And the transfer limit was simply ridiculous so I'm glad Nintendo finally did away with it.

I entered my password wrong three times before I figured out that it was because the Miiverse login screen uses a completely different keyboard than the normal system keyboard that's used everywhere else. The vertical rows of letters are not aligned like they normally are (look on a computer keyboard, A is not directly below Q... it is down and slightly to the right). This was causing me to type where a letter should be, rather than where it actually was. Also, the shift key behaves like a caps lock key, which might cause you problems if you have a password with capitals in it. On the normal keyboard, there are two separate keys for shift and caps lock, but not on this one.
Awful, bizarre UI design decision to use a different keyboard. Can't imagine why they did that.
Anyway, just pay very close attention to what's happening on screen when typing your password.
Now it accepts my password, but I'm getting error 011-3051 whenever I try to get to eShop. Miiverse works.
Is it bad to say that my favorite part of this update is knowing my camera app won't be launching accidentally all the time?No. I'm ridiculously excited about that part even though it's a total first world problem. +1 for appreciating the little things!
Miiverse is good too I guess...Miiverse is a great addition though I'm not sure how much I'll use it on 3DS since I usually have Wi-Fi off at home. I only ever turn it on when I'm hoping (normally in vain) to get Streetpasses or updating the firmware.

Oops, just saw you knew that already. Can't modify posts here for some reason.

I haven't been able to get into the eShop since updating. Last night and this morning, all I get is error 011-3051.
That's where a proper Family acct should come into play.
UncleBob, UncleBob & UncleBob each own a 3DS tied to the BobFamily acct.
UncleBob buys a game, and now UncleBob and UncleBob also get to download and play it on their own 3DS too.
