 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.)
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.

Precautions when using System Transfer
IMPORTANT: All photos and audio data saved in System Memory on your Nintendo 3DS system will be deleted.If you don’t want this data to be deleted, copy the photos and audio data to the SD Card before performing the transfer.
Photos and audio saved in the Nintendo 3DS System Memory will be erased
If you do not want to erase photos or audio saved in the System Memory of your Nintendo 3DS system...
Before you perform the system transfer, copy your photos and audio from System Memory to the SD Card.
NOTE: If you want to transfer photos saved on the SD Card of your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL, you must first copy them from the SD Card to System Memory.
Precautions when transferring Nintendo DSiWare
Only Nintendo DSiWare software programs will be transferred to your Nintendo 3DS system. The DSiWare save data will not be transferred. When you transfer DSiWare from your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system, both software and save data will be erased from the original system. Do not transfer Nintendo DSiWare unless you are willing to lose the save data associated with that DSiWare.
DSiWare and save data will be erased Only DSiWare will be transferred
NOTE: DSiWare will be saved in the System Memory of your Nintendo 3DS system. It cannot be transferred if there is insufficient space in the System Memory of your system. If necessary, go to Data Management under System Settings and copy previously saved DSiWare to the SD Card (see page 52), and then delete them from System Memory.
If DSiWare has been deleted or copied to an SD Card...
If you purchased a license for DSiWare and then deleted that DSiWare or copied it to an SD Card, you can still transfer it even though it is no longer saved on the system. In this case, system transfer does not save the software itself on the Nintendo 3DS system, but it does allow you to re-download the software from Nintendo eShop and play it on that system.
Only the account activity showing your DSiWare purchase is transferred
* Once transferred, DSiWare can no longer be played on the original Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system.  If you want to play transferred DSiWare again on that system, you must use Nintendo DSi Points and purchase  the DSiWare licenses again.
• You cannot transfer free DSiWare or DSiWare for which licenses are not sold on the Nintendo eShop. For more informa-tion on non-transferable DSiWare, please visit support.nintendo.com.
• You cannot transfer Nintendo DSi Points™ or software that came included with your Nintendo DSi or  Nintendo DSi XL system.
• You cannot transfer software if the same software already exists on your Nintendo 3DS system.
