The real question I haven't seen in this thread yet:  Will the universal friend codes allow you to transfer virtual console downloads from one 3DS to another?

Hopefully Nintendo gives us a better way to redownload our purchases if our hardware malfunctions.


They already confirmed this.  You can transfer purchases from a 3DS to another 3DS, or from your DSi to a 3DS.  Not all (older) DSiWare games will transfer though and you have a limited number of transfers per purchase.

When was that confirmed? I knew you could transfer from your DSi to the 3DS but I never heard about transfering from 3DS to 3DS. Do you have a link where I could read more about it?

I don't know if it has been confired by Nintendo somewhere, but play.com has it on their official product listing.

"System Transfer which enable users to transfer already purchased software from one Nintendo 3DS system to another. DSiWare purchased for the Nintendo DSi or the Nintendo DSi XL can also be transferred into a Nintendo 3DS system.**"
