sounds like a corrupted bootloader which probably happened during the update, its not something you can fix yourself and since it happened because of the update nintendo should be responsible for repairing it. try contacting them to see if they can help you.

oh, sorry, there was an error, the game was updated, not the system. What I care most about is recovering my game saves

@pkpintercity remove the game and sd card if 1 is installed then hold down the power button for 30 seconds to see what happens
