If you link your ID to a Wii U™ console as well, you will be able to share your Nintendo eShop account between the two devices. •You will need a Nintendo Network ID to download demo games or other free content from Nintendo eShop. •A Nintendo Network ID is not the same thing as a Club Nintendo Account. •To register a Nintendo Network ID you will need a broadband Internet connection (see page 4) and an e-mail address. •The consent of a parent or guardian is required before children under the age of 13 are able to create a Nintendo Network ID. To provide this consent, you must follow the on-screen instructions for the “Parent/Guardian Conrmation” process.Precautions regarding the Nintendo Network ID •Once an ID is linked to your system, you will need to sign in with that ID in order to use Nintendo eShop. Any account activity and/or balance on your system at the time of the link will be merged with any account activity and/or balance already associated with your Nintendo Network ID. •An ID can only be linked to one system in the Nintendo 3DS family at a time. If you want to transfer an ID from one such system to another, you will need to move it via a system transfer (see Other Settings, page 16).– You cannot merge Nintendo Network IDs with one another. For that reason, you cannot consolidate software purchases made using various IDs onto a single ID.– You cannot perform a system transfer to a system linked to a Nintendo Network ID. If you want to perform a system transfer to such a system, you must rst format the System Memory of that system (see page 19). •The list of friends associated with an ID is dierent from the Friend List associated with your New Nintendo 3DS XL sys-tem. Additions and modications to the list of friends associated with an ID can only be made on a linked Wii U system, and this list of friends can only be used by software that permits sign-in with a Nintendo Network ID. •Your Nintendo Network ID cannot be changed once selected. If your Nintendo Network ID is deleted, you will lose access to your previously purchased software and game saves. Linking a Nintendo Network IDTo link a new or existing Nintendo Network ID, select Nintendo Network ID Settings in System Settings (see page 13).1 Tap either Link an Existing ID or Create a New ID • If you create a new ID on this device, you will not be able to combine your Nintendo eShop account activity and balance with that of any ID you are already using on a Wii U. If you want to link the ID you are currently using on a Wii U to this device, be sure to tap Link an Existing ID. • Once you have successfully linked an ID, you will be asked to sign in with that ID when you make use of services that require one.

After the System Transfer, insert the microSD card from the source system into the target system before use. If you use the target system before swapping the microSD card, you may not be able to use save data with certain software programs.When transferring from a Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo 3DS XL system to a New Nintendo 3DS XL systemSourceNintendo 3DS/Nintendo 3DS XL New Nintendo 3DS XLTargetSystem TransferYou cannot insert the SD card from the source system into the microSD card slot of the New Nintendo 3DS system. See the three options below for other methods of transferring the data.Option 1 – Transfer all data wirelesslyThis transfers all of the data on the SD card in the Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo3DS XL to the microSD card in the New Nintendo 3DS XL. •The amount of time required for the transfer depends on the amount of data there is to transfer. •You will not be able to transfer the data if the microSD card on the target system does not have enough free space. If this is the case, quit the transfer process, and then delete any unnecessary photos, videos, audio, or software from the microSD card. If there is still not enough space, replace the microSD card in the target system with one that has a greater capacity, or select the “Transfer everything but 3DS software” transfer option.All data System TransferWith System Transfer, you can transfer data to your New Nintendo 3DS XL system from any system in the Nintendo 3DS family, or from a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system.

For more information and troubleshooting for System Transfer, visit support.nintendo.com. More information is also available in the comprehensive New Nintendo 3DS XL Operations Manual which you can view or download from support.nintendo.com.Important information about system transfers: •System Transfer uses both a broadband Internet connection and local wireless communication between systems. Locate your systems close to each other in an environment with a reliable Internet connection. •Make sure both systems are fully charged or connected to AC adapters before beginning the transfer process. •Do not turn either system o during the transfer process. •After the transfer process, all data on the source system will be deleted. •Data other than Nintendo DSiWare saved to the system memory of the target system (such as save data for built-in software) is all erased before the data from the source console is written. If you have any photo or audio data saved in the system memory of the target system, copy it to the microSD card before running the System Transfer. •If you perform a System Transfer between systems that have the same downloadable software, the Account Activity for the same software on the target system is erased, and the save data will no longer be usable either. The software and save data from the source system will become playable on the target system. •You will not be able to perform a System Transfer if the combined Nintendo eShop balance on the source and target systems exceeds the maximum allowed balance.
