That is impressive. I've seen it have hiccups before, but I just tried again on my (old) 3DS XL and it did indeed still work.

Not being able to switch users is pretty aggravating, though. (Both for me and the family member who's account the 3DS forces me onto.) That issue alone prettymuch keeps me from using it :(

It should be noted that the final version of the 3DS app predates multiple users, hence the limitation. The app can't be updated.

Oh, does Nintendo not allow you to ship updates? That would make it a pain to support!
