This week’s post will not be a long, agonizing post about how to transfer all your data, but how to download and buy games. Like many other electronic shops, they require a wireless connection network to successfully download, and save to the SD memory. Here is how to connect to a Wi-Fi source,
1. Go to the “System Settings” application in the DS Menu
2. Go to the panel the says “Internet Settings”
3. Go to “Connections Settings” and select the right settings for the Wi-Fi source you use.
4. Type in the password and wait, it should take a while.
Alright, now that you got a connection, you can literally do almost anything, and they reward you with three new apps, YouTube, Pokemon Sun and Moon Demo, and a Nintendo Video App, except, you need a Nintendo Link ID which I will give instructions on how to do
1. Go to the “System Settings” and at the top of the menu for that, click the long, rectangular panel that says, “Create a Nintendo ID” and answer the questions they ask you
Now that you have connected and you have a ID Link, all you need to do is open the shop, enter your zip code, and add “Nintendo ‘E’ Shop” money. You can purchase it from gaming stores such as, GameStop, Target, or online on game shops. Now, the shop is ready, enjoy buying your Nintendo titles.
This week’s post is about how to do A New 3DS transfer, but this time using a PC computer.
Of the three transfers, the PC transfer is the fastest, but in my opinion, the most complicated because since the microSD card is sealed and protected with a case on the outside secured by screws, it can get very infuriating because if you accidentally make a blunder with the screwdriver, It will get stripped causing it to get stuck. Alternatively, there are some ways you can attempt to remove the case.
1. Using the screwdriver with cloth or a rubber band to attempt to unscrew the mangled screw.
2. Apply force to the screwdriver by taping it gently with a hammer.
These are the only two I recommend, because the screwdriver is small, and if you try to do other methods, it might be too inauspicious or unneeded because they are probably meant for more major problems and bigger screws.
Here is how to do the alternative way to transport your data
You will need,
Your Nintendo 3DS with you SDHD Card inside
Your New Nintendo 3DS with a MicroSD Card inside, (Nintendo equipped a card with the maximum capacity of 4 gigabytes.
Awireless access point
A PC with Windows 7 / 8.1 installed
(While this feature may work using Windows 10, it may blunder.)
(s is for source and t is for target system.)
Notes before starting
The target and source systems are required to have the latest system update before the transfer can begin.
You cannot perform a system transfer if the target system has a Nintendo Network ID linked. You must format the target system to remove the Nintendo Network ID link.
What to Do:
1s. Open up your system then go to the settings icon and press, “open.”
2s. Once the app is open, click the rectangular box saying, “Other Settings.”

7s. If you have a Nintendo Network ID, press “Next” and use the on-screen keyboard to type in your code.
1t. Turning on your system, navigate your circular pad to the right until you reach the icon, system settings.
2t. Tap the rectangle on the bottom right saying, “Other Settings.”
3t. Navigate four times to the right until you find a icon saying “System Transfer.” Click that.
4t. Tap “Transfer from Nintendo 3DS.”
5t. Read the information about the transfer and tap “Agree.”
6t. The number of transfers will be sh. Tap “Yes” to initiate the transfer.
7t. Tap “Receive from Nintendo 3DS.”
8s. Select the system that will receive the transfer.
8t. Tap “Yes” to proceed with the transfer.
9s. Read the transfer information and tap “Next” to continue.
10s. Tap “Yes” to confirm.
11s. If there is data that is the same on the systems, read what will be deleted and then tap “Next.”
12s. A message may appear stating that some software will become unstable. Tap “Yes” to confirm.
13s. Tap the blue “Transfer” button to continue.
14s. Read the information about transfer types and select “Next.”
15s. Read the important information regarding SD Cards and select “Next.”
16s. If the system has Nintendo DSiWare titles, which are games from the Nintendo DSi. Select “Move” to move the titles to system memory.
17s. Read the information about SD Cards and then select “Next,” and then select “Next” again.
18s. Select “PC-Based Transfer.”

22s. At this point, the Pikmin movie will play. When the transfer is done, the movie will end. Select “OK” on both systems.
9t. Do not select “Move” on the following screen. You will only be able to move Nintendo DSiWare once you have copied content from the current SD Card to the target systems microSD Card.
10t. Use a PC to copy all data from the SD Card of the source system to the microSD Card of the target system. The target card should be formatted before performing this step.
11t. Once the data has been copied, reinsert the microSD Card into the target system.
12t. The transfer is complete.
ICE. If the data is not transferred from the source SD Card to the target SD Card, or transferred incorrectly, the system will display a notification that this step needs to be completed each time the system is restarted. If this occurs, ensure that you transferred data from the source to target systems SD Card correctly.
This message will go away if the system is restarted four times.
This post is for people who have a significant quantity of data on their old ds and want to transfer it to their new ds system. Regrettably, the New Nintendo uses a MicroSD Card and the 3ds uses a SDHD card which is roughly five times bigger. Apparently, you can’t attempt to fit an SDHD card into a MicroSD card because it won’t fit!
Fortunately, Nintendo lets you transfer your data in two different ways. A wireless transfer which can be a full or limited transfer and a PC transfer. For the wireless transfer, you have two options. You can perform a full or limited transfer that just transfers your previous bought games such like, DSIware, ( an application store on the Nintendo DSI that uses its own points, ) or currency bought games from the “Nintendo E Shop.”
A PC transformation requires a current computer like the Windows 7 that has slots for both the SDHD and Micro SDHD card. It will overwrite all the data making it possible to the data to the MicroSD card.
FYI for the instructions: s is for the source system, (your old 3ds,) and t is for your target system, (your New Nintendo 3ds.)” Also, this is in order that the icons and messages will pop up.
Precautions and WARNINGS
Make sure that both systems are equipped with maximal battery power. ( Full Data Transfers may take two- four hours and can absorb a lot of battery power.)
Make sure they are connected to a strong Wireless local area network source. (If not or Wifi signal is lost, all data may have a strong risk of being permanently lost in the process.)
In case one of these occur and you have done so before performing it: Overwrite all the data on a computer just in case a error occurs or you run out of power.
Instructions
1s. On the source system, go to the main menu and tap the System Settings Icon and then “Open.”
2s. Tap “Other Settings.”

Since this season of the Student Blogging Challenge has come to a conclusion, I will be writing posts revolving around things Japanese. I will be writing about the well-known company, Nintendo, the popular percussion instrument, the taiko drum, some Japanese culture, along with the two basic Japanese writing systems, (Hiragana and Katakana,) and some simple phrases from the Japanese language.
