===Nintendo eShop===
[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] (and its [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|demo]]), and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] use more memory than normal 3DS games and disable some of the HOME Menu's functionality on older 3DS family systems, but not on the "New" models due to their increased RAM.
The {{wp|Nintendo eShop}} is an application which is obtained by performing a system update. It uses the Internet to purchase and download select full 3DS titles, 3DS-exclusive downloadable games (including 3D Classics)<!--not 3DSWare-->, DSiWare, and Virtual Console games with money uploaded onto the console, along with free updates to select titles.

====Patches====
Patches for various Pokémon games have been released on the Nintendo eShop. Additionally, Pokémon Shuffle can update itself when performing the daily check-in, but such updates cannot be downloaded through the Nintendo eShop. If an update is available on Nintendo eShop for a game the player has, the update has not been downloaded yet and there is an attempt to launch that game while connected to the internet, the system will inform the player of the update and offer to go straight to the update in Nintendo eShop to download it.

Pokémon games

Main article: Nintendo 3DS → Pokémon games

The New Nintendo 3DS is compatible with the same games as the original Nintendo 3DS. There are some games that the original 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS cannot play, but none of these are Pokémon games.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Sun and Moon (and its demo), and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon use more memory than normal 3DS games and disable some of the HOME Menu's functionality on older 3DS family systems, but not on the "New" models due to their increased RAM.
