If there's one thing I dislike about Nintendo, it's their consistent failure to integrate the internet with their systems. Their resistance to integration almost seems to imply that they believe the internet is just a trend. When looking at the 3ds software-updating system, I have to assume their internet department is run by 70 year-olds. It's so bad, you have to manually update each individual piece of software, which, regardless of your connection speed or the size of the file, seems to download at a dial-up pace. Have they never heard of an update system, whereby you would download all updates with one button? It's a simple button, they could call it 'Download All', and it would do exactly that. Furthermore, they seem to have never used a computer, otherwise they might be familiar with something called 'automatic updates'. It's a system that's been in place since at least Windows XP... Windows Update, ever heard of it Nintendo?

Well, the internet is not a trend. Maybe if Nintendo can get with the times, they can manage to compete with Microsoft and Sony. I hope they do, because other than their fossilized internet architecture, most of what Nintendo offers is preferable to the competition. Let me give you a clue, Nintendo... it's called 'streamlining'.
