Totally not related to anything, but my 3DS was almost dead today. And not like dead battery, but when I turned it on, the lights came on but the screens stayed lit black. Kinda panicked, then I heard about this Force Update thing where you hold a bunch of buttons and the power button, and then it decided that it wanted to work when it thought I told the camera to come on. So... that turned out relatively well, and I don't need to spend eighty to a couple hundred USDs.
