Option 2
– Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer
Choose this option when the microSD card in the target system does not have
enough capacity. Data other than Nintendo 3DS software on the SD card will be
transferred to the microSD card of the target system. After the System Transfer, you will be able to re-download the
required software programs from Nintendo eShop free of charge.
• Save data is restored when the software is opened for the first time after download.

Option 3
– PC-Based Transfer
Data on the SD card is not transferred to the microSD card of
the target system during the transfer procedure. After System
Transfer is complete, use a computer to copy all data from the SD card to the microSD card. After copying the data,
insert the microSD card into the target system to use data on it.
• If you were already using a microSD card in an SD card adapter on the source system, you do not need to copy
the data using a computer. After the System Transfer is complete, just insert the microSD card into the target
system to use data on it.
IMPORTANT:
• If your computer has a built-in SD card slot, you will need to use as SD card adapter (sold separately) to insert
the microSD card from the New Nintendo 2DS XL into the SD card slot.
• If your computer does not have a built-in SD card slot, you will need to use a SD card reader and a microSD card
adapter (both sold separately) during this procedure.
Copying data to the microSD card
Copy all data on the source SD card to the PC and then
to the target microSD card. Be sure to copy the entire
Nintendo 3DS folder to the microSD card.
• Copy data to an empty microSD card.
First delete or copy to a PC any data on the microSD
card to make sure it is empty.
• Copy data to the upper most level of any directories
on the microSD card.
• Do not move, delete, rename, or otherwise alter any of the data in the Nintendo 3DS folder.
• See page 45 for more information on SD card capacity.

If you are using multiple SD cards with your source system...
You can move the contents of a single SD card with options 1 or 2. Then you can use a PC to transfer data from the
second or additional SD cards to the microSD card (see option 3) after the system transfer procedure, and then insert
the card into the new system. See page 45 for more information on copying data to SD cards.
