Does the 3DS have an automatic start-up mode?

With the original DS, you could turn on the auto start-up mode and the console would load the game cartridge without going through the menu. As I install new games/apps, the menu of my 3DS is getting slower, so I keep pressing 'A' impatiently for some valuable seconds until the game starts loading.

Is there a similar configuration for the 3DS? I have seen a post claming that Nintendo wants you to have your 3DS always on, but I like turning off my 3DS completely instead of using the sleep mode - I couldn't care less about street pass and such.

No, it does not have auto start, because the 3DS has downloadable apps and games, so that you can get to those if you don't want to go straight to the game in the game card slot.
