RadiantRegalia Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I'm in a predicament, but I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding or not. If any of you have been in this extremely specific situation, I'd appreciate a response. I've had my 3DS for a few years, got a bunch of stuff on the SD card, and I recently purchased the Smash Bros. themed 3DS XL because it looks awesome. Tried putting my original 3DS' SD card into the XL, it doesn't work. Looked it up, I need to do a system transfer. Now, I know HOW to do a system transfer, but the problem is that it says my data on the XL's SD card will be wiped if I transfer. The problem is that I have a digital copy of Smash Bros on the new SD card. I want to keep it. I read elsewhere that somebody bought an Animal Crossing 3DS XL bundle (that exists...?) and that it deleted their pre-installed game after the transfer, but after said transfer they could go on the e-shop and download it again for free. I'm not sure if this is reliable, but if that's the case then I'm thinking I should be able to re-download Smash as well. My problem with all this though, besides reliability, is that I'll be transferring e-shop data to my XL. Will I actually be able to download it again? I never downloaded it on my e-shop account, it was already on the system, so I really don't have any idea if this will work. I want to be able to play my games on the XL screen without having to delete Smash Bros. with no way of downloading it again if it won't be free. Has anybody else done a system transfer to a Smash 3DS XL? Can you tell me if you were able to re-download Smash on the XL after transferring Nintendo Network ID, SD card data, e-shop data etc.? I really am stumped with this and it's making me really confused and upset because I don't want to lose it, but I also don't know what will happen. :[ Again, this is REALLY specific. I don't care if you bought a MH4U or whatever 3DS that had the game on it already - I only want to hear it from people with the Smash one, that's the most reliable way of knowing. Thanks for any help in advance. EDIT: I should point out I've not linked my Smash Bros. 3DS XL to my Club Nintendo account yet, but I'm about to do it now in case that affects it. My 3DS is already linked to it. Edited October 6, 2014 by ShadowPulse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted October 6, 2014 Support Squad Share Posted October 6, 2014 If you bought it on the shop, you should be able to download it again with the same account. It's just all your save data will go bye bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantRegalia Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I didn't buy it off of the shop. It was pre-installed on the 3DS XL when I opened it. There was no e-shop account set up on the 3DS XL prior to opening it. Edited October 6, 2014 by ShadowPulse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
