I know this has been asked, but there has to be something in missing as I've followed the steps in previous posts, yet I still can't download the update.
My 2ds and copy of New Leaf are the same region (NTSC-U).
My console is up to date.
I have tried both from the home screen and the eShop, in both cases it just sits there endlessly downloading and seemingly making 0 progress.
I have checked and rechecked my Internet connection. I was able to download the update for my copy of Smash Brothers, and have been able to DNS trick the gift pokemon, so I know my connection is strong and stable.
Aside from modding my 2ds(which I don't have the ability to do right now), I am kind of at a loss at what to do.
Any additional ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Hopefully I can figure this out because I really want to play some animal crossing.
