Can I do a System Transfer to a "new 3DS" without a working SD Card?
My old 3DS currently has a problem reading SD cards, and I'm planning to pick up a "new 3DS" at the end of this month.
I was thinking, is it possible to do a System Transfer without a working SD Card on the source system? I don't really want to waste a bunch of money to fix a system that I'm no longer going to use.

This is not a question for this site. You need to contact Nintendo's technical support team for advice on this issue. Anyone answering here is just going to be guessing unless they have had first hand experience with this situation themself. Even then, I would still call tech support for advice.

You should see little indents on either side of the panel where the stylus' hook will fit. Once you have access to the memory card, copy all of the data from your computer onto the new memory card, insert it back into the new 3DS, and replace the panel. You should not need to access it again during this process.Can I transfer my Nintendo ID to another 3DS?
