How does a game know there is an update if you are not connected to the internet?

All these games I go to run say there is an update available and it wants to download before it will play. But how does it know this if I am not connected to the internet? I am using the SX OS stealth feature. Just curious. Thanks.

Depends. Stealth feature, I do not believe stops games from updating. It does stop some communications with nintendo. Someone else can confirm. There are also day 1 patches that might codded into the game.

Are you sure it is asking for game updates and not a system update? What FW are you running?

Update NSPs are easy enough to find, so it's a pain to do, but unfortunately it's necessary.
