I'll be getting my microSD card in the mail today, and I still have the SD card from my old 3ds. Is there anything on the SD card I might be able to salvage, like save games or whatever? If so, should I copy that stuff to the microSD card before dropping it in the new 3DS or should I put in the microSD card first (in case the 3DS needs to set up a folder file structure or whatever first, I dunno).

I tried reading through the section in the New3DS manual that talked about what you could and couldn't transfer from SD to microSD and it wasn't exactly clear.

None of that will work because you aren't doing a normal System Transfer. Your saves are gone.

You can't because the save files are keyed to the original system. Moving the saves over will not work as the new system will ignore them. The system transfer would have handled all that.

Copying files from SD card to SD card only works if you intend on using the card in the same system. Different systems are a no-go.

So can you call up nintendo and get them to give you surveys for past eshop purchases, I would get some insane coinage if I could.

If you DL pokemon bank and the free steel diver game that will give you another 20 or so I think.

E: You get 15 for the bank game. 5 then 10. Doesn't look like the other gives points any more.
That Rusty baseball game sham used to give points, too.

Only issue I've had with this is that it doesn't sit flush on the back. I think the case for the olde XL stuck into some little holes on the top to hold it it.



Bought it from Amazon imported. Looks like they're selling them to go out 2-4 weeks: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...3JWCBKDJYK7OHMD

Got my DecalGirl skin. I was a tiny bit off applying but otherwise I'm more than satisfied. I didn't expect it to be actual vinyl, and the matte finish looks great. I didn't bother with the inside skins since they're just black. Also I must've twitched when I took the pictures but the design isn't jaggy at all.



10/10 would decalgirl again.

It requires a physical copy of Ocarina of Time, which has already been impossible to find at a reasonable price for months.

It's pretty easy, it's pretty snug save for the back part of the bottom piece since it doesn't get locked in like the last Duraflexi for the older XL.

Well I wonder if the US one will have the plugs that go in that little lanyard deal (didn't know that's what that was!)

With the Duraflexi for the N3DS, it's worth noting that I think it gradually starts sitting up against the back more over time. I've had mine on for a few days now, and it's noticeably more flush now than before. It used to be that I'd only notice when picking it up, but now I only notice if I go looking for it.

EDIT: ^^^^^The one I got is the US version, so they're definitely going out. Mine was pushed back a couple times before it shipped last week. This was from a pre-order I made at the end of January.
