Update 1.1.7 for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, released on July 18, 2017, was a minor patch primarily focused on expanding amiibo support. While it didn't introduce new playable DLC fighters, it was a required update for players in the EUR region (and globally) to maintain online functionality and local wireless compatibility with other updated systems.

Version 1.1.7 is historically significant because it was the final balance patch released for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.

One oddity of 1.1.7 was its regional delay. While EUR and U regions received the patch, the Japanese (JPN) region received a functionally identical update under a different version number (1.1.6 in some localized reports) due to differing server architectures. This led to a brief period where cross-region local play was impossible until all regions were synchronized. Install Base Game (EUR)
