Where does it say we can't transfer Ambassador games? I've never read that anywhere except from Syd in this thread. Every indication is that everything from your first gen 3DS will transfer over to a 3DSXL, except you'll have to redo passcodes for security reasons.

I like it, and will probably pick one up fairly soon after launch. I also like how Start, Select, and Home are separate buttons this time. That's one very minor annoyance with the original 3DS.

The transfer will carry over Nintendo 3DS settings like Internet Connection info, saved information like Friends Lists and Miis, Nintendo DSiWare titles, everything saved on the SD card, and Nintendo eShop account information, including download history and any balance in your eShop wallet.

This says you can transfer them, but you won't be able to also keep them on your old 3DS. Seems like an obvious caveat for me since that would mean you could give a 3DS with all your old stuff on it to someone else and they would get all the games for free. I'm sure someone like Satire will have a big problem with this for some fucked up reason.

Only the wisest and most attractive of people would post such a link. Well done.

Well done. Eh, regardless of that, still not liking or getting the 3DS XL. I don't see how this would upgrade my 3DS experience.

But this way you'd have a bigger 3DS to mistreat and break. That doesn't entice you?

I think I may have put a permanent mark in my top 3DS screen (from the bottom screen) from shaking it for coins in the first two weeks I had it. I didn't notice it until weeks later, but when I play a game in full 3D, there is a noticeable line straight down the screen on the righthand sign. I have tried gently rubbing it away with disc scratch remover and a soft cotton shirt, but no luck.

Nintendo will fix that under the warranty. They're pretty good about that, actually.

Maybe after transferring over to the XL, send in your original 3DS to get fixed and then sell it.

Oh right, it is one year, plus 90 more days when registered with Club Nintendo. If you bought it at the end of March you may still have a couple of days.
