will need to rst remove the link to the ID by formatting the system (
You cannot merge multiple IDs, so you cannot access software purchased with dierent IDs.
•
Once you remove a Nintendo Network ID from a system, you cannot link it to any other system. You can only link it again to the system it
•
was removed from.
Note: You can only have one Nintendo Network ID linked to the system at a time. If you remove a Nintendo Network ID and then link another ID to
the system, you will need to format the system memory before you can link the rst ID again.

Copy via PC
With this method, data on an SD card will not be transferred automatically
to the microSD card in the target system. Once the system transfer has
been completed, use a computer to copy all the data from the SD card to the microSD card. After the data has been copied, insert
the microSD card in the target system.
If you have been using a microSD card with an SD card adapter in the source system, there's no need to use a computer to copy
•
the data. Simply insert the microSD card into the target system once the system transfer is complete.
Take the microSD card from the source system and insert it in the target system.
The data on the source system's microSD card will only be usable on the target system. After performing the system transfer, insert the
microSD card from the source system into the target system. If you use the target system without inserting the microSD card, you may
not have access to save data for certain software titles.

Copying data to the microSD card
When copying data from an SD card to a microSD card,
use the SD card slot on your PC or a commercially available
microSD card reader/writer and copy all the data on
the SD card to the microSD card. (You should copy the
"Nintendo 3DS" folder in its entirety.)
Copy data to an empty microSD card. If the microSD card
•
already contains data, delete it before copying the data
from the SD card over. (If the data on the target microSD
card is important to you, make a copy of it elsewhere, for
example, on your PC.)
Copy the "Nintendo 3DS" folder to the top level of the microSD card. (In other words, do not place it within another folder.)
•
The "Nintendo 3DS" folder contains data for downloadable software and associated save data. It does not contain photo data.
•
Do not attempt to adjust the data, move or delete the les, or change any le names within the "Nintendo 3DS" folder.

Adjusting System Settings
The SD card from the source Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL or Nintendo 2DS system cannot be inserted in the microSD card slot of a
New Nintendo 2DS XL system. However, the three following methods are available for transferring the data on an SD card.
Wireless Transfer (All Data)
It is possible to transfer all the data from the SD card in a Nintendo 3DS,
Nintendo 3DS XL or Nintendo 2DS system onto the microSD card in a New Nintendo 2DS XL
system via wireless communication.
The transfer may take some time if there is a large amount of data to transfer.
•
Other Settings
If there is not enough free space available on the target system's microSD card, you will not be able to perform the transfer.
•
Cancel the transfer and remove any unwanted photos, videos, recordings or software. Alternatively, you can insert a microSD
card with more free space available into the target system or use the "Wireless Transfer (Limited Data)" method to transfer data.
All
You can only transfer the data from one SD card when using the "Wireless Transfer (All Data)" or "Wireless Transfer (Limited Data)"
methods. Data from other SD cards should be copied to dierent microSD cards after the transfer, using the "Copy via PC" method.

Precautions for Transferring
After transferring data, all data on the source system will be deleted.
System memory data deleted System memory data overwritten
Source system Target system
Note: With the exception of Nintendo DSiWare, the data in the target system’s system memory (e.g. pre-installed application save data) will be
deleted and overwritten with the data from the source system. If you have data such as photos and recordings, copy these to a microSD card rst.
System Update
Update the HOME Menu and applications with new applications and functions.
You must be connected to the internet to perform system updates. Congure your internet connection settings before using system update
(
p. 33). (When performing a system update from a Game Card, an internet connection is not necessary.)
Note:
System updates cannot be carried out if the battery charge is running low.
•
Check the Nintendo website for a summary of update details.
•
REGARDING SYSTEM UPDATES
IMPORTANT: After the system is updated, any existing or future unauthorised technical modication of the hardware or software of your system, or use
of an unauthorised device in connection with your system, may render it permanently unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorised modication
of the hardware or software of your system may be removed. Failure to accept the update may render games unplayable.
Download Software Precautions
Data stored on the target system’s microSD card, such as Nintendo 3DS download software and its save data, will not be usable after
•
the transfer. The software can be re-downloaded from Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo DSiWare and its save data on the target system’s microSD card should be moved to the target system’s system memory
•
before the transfer. It will then remain usable after the transfer.
If the same download software has been downloaded on both systems, its data on the target system’s Account Activity will be deleted
•
and replaced with the data from the source system. Also, the old save data on the target system will no longer be usable.
Nintendo eShop Funds Precautions
If the total Nintendo eShop funds of the source and target systems exceed the maximum allowed, the system transfer will not proceed.
