System Transfer
Transfer data from a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system you already own to your
Nintendo 3DS system, or transfer data between two Nintendo 3DS systems.
IMPORTANT: To make sure that neither system turns off during the system transfer, we
recommend that you either perform the transfer while the systems are charging or make
sure the batteries are charged sufficiently before beginning. If the remaining battery life is
low, you will not be able to perform a system transfer.
• System Transfer uses both an Internet connection and local wireless communication between the two systems. Make sure both
systems are placed in a location that provides a good environment for wireless communication.
• Both systems must have wireless communications enabled before performing a transfer.
• During the transfer, the system cannot be put into Sleep Mode by closing the system. Do not turn the power off during
a transfer.
Transfer data from
Nintendo DSi or
Nintendo DSi XL
systems
Transfer data from a
Nintendo 3DS system
Transfer Nintendo DSiWare, photos, audio and other data to a Nintendo 3DS system. You cannot
transfer data from a Nintendo 3DS system to Nintendo DSi/Nintendo DSi XL systems.
Once you
have made the transfer, the data cannot be returned to the original system.
When you use System Transfer between two Nintendo 3DS systems, various data is transferred
including your save data for built-in applications, Nintendo eShop balance, and the “Account
Activity” record of downloaded applications.
There is a limit on how many times you can use System Transfer between Nintendo 3DS systems.
Data can be transferred a maximum of five times by System Transfer, even if you add new
software to your system. Once data has been transferred five times, it is no longer transferable.
(You can check the number of times you can still use System Transfer on the screen before using
the procedure.)
You can transfer Internet Settings and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID.
You can transfer photos, audio, and other data that you saved in your Nintendo DSi or
Nintendo DSi XL system’s built-in software, Nintendo DSi Camera and Nintendo DSi Sound.
You can transfer most DSiWare (broadband Internet connection required).
Precautions when transferring Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings
• This will overwrite the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings under Nintendo DS Connections on your Nintendo 3DS
system.
• The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID will be deleted from your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system. For details
about the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID, see the Operations Manual for your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system.
• Your higher-level Internet Settings (under Advanced Setup) will not be transferred.
Before using this feature, download the free Nintendo 3DS Transfer Tool from
Nintendo DSi Shop to your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system.
• A broadband wireless network connection to the
Internet is required.
• For details about the Nintendo DSi Shop, see
the operations manual for your Nintendo DSi or
Nintendo DSi XL system.
