 I remember some people bitching about what happens if they lose their 3DS.  You should be able to redownload them if you log onto the Club Nintendo account with another 3DS.  However, there is the question what if someone just activates their account on their friends 3DS and they get all your games for free.   I'll look into it but if someone already knows then please tell.

I recently had the worst customer service experience of my life over this very issue (yes, with NIntendo of all companies)--short version: do *not* DL anything to your 3DS you aren't willing to part w/ permanently if your 3DS is lost or stolen. Trust me. Utter and complete nightmare. They will run you around until you basically give up.

(I understand this wasn't always the case, but after a dozen emails, multiple phone calls, and a report to the BBB, it wasn't resolved satisfactorily.)
