Still scared about the day my 3DS will crap out and lose all my digital purchases. Considering the fact that my 2006 GBASP still works though, that may take some time, but still.

Do you have an NNID linked to your 3DS? When I bought my new 3DS, I had to interrupt the transfer process, and discovered that all my digital purchases were just sitting there, waiting to be redownloaded, including the ones I bought before linking my NNID. The process to download them again was so simple...it honestly surprises me that people still worry about this kinda thing.

Of course, NNID implementation didn't happen until a year or two ago, but still, this doesn't really seem like news anymore.
