Nintendo's anti-piracy measures arrive on the 3DS

[dlevere]

Last month, we reported that Nintendo was banning Switch consoles used for piracy from going online. This was a result of the company's new anti-piracy system which allowed it to identify when a game had been pirated thanks to a unique identifier that was included with every copy of the game.

Now, it seems this anti-piracy system has been back-ported to the Nintendo 3DS through the latest software update (version 11.8) released yesterday. The official changelog published on the support page only cites improvements to the stability and user experience, which has become synonymous with anti-piracy measures for the company. The new system was discovered by Twitter user SciresM, who was also the source of the Switch related news last month:

Already fixed with Luma 9.1, but many apps still need an update to work, and freeshop is most likely doomed.
