BSODs appearing on new Nintendo 3DS

No, not the BLUE screen of death but rather the BLACK screen of death as it's been named in a number of online forums.

VG24/7 reports that gamers have been experiencing the error while playing Super Monkey Ball, Street Fighter IV 3D, Pilotwings, Ghost Recon, and Lego Star Wars.

Rebooting the console or reformatting your SD card for FAT-32 seem to have fixed some user’s problems however, it seems the problem is reoccurring which have prompted others to return the unit in exchange for another one.

Here’s hoping Nintendo fixes this with a downloadable update.
