System Transfer
Transfer data from a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system you already own to your
Nintendo 3DS XL system, or transfer data between two Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL systems.
IMPORTANT: To make sure that neither system turns o during the system transfer, we
recommend that you either perform the transfer while the systems are charging or make sure
the batteries are charged suciently 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 o during a transfer.

Transfer data from
a Nintendo 3DS or

system
Transfer Nintendo DSiWare, photos, audio and other data to a Nintendo 3DS XL system. You cannot
transfer data from a Nintendo 3DS XL 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 or Nintendo 3DS XL 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 or
Nintendo 3DS XL systems. Data can be transferred a maximum of ve times by System Transfer,
even if you add new software to your system. Once data has been transferred ve 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.)
