I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to this particular situation. I'm planning on a system transfer from the animal crossing 3ds xl (with the pre-installed game) to a new 3ds XL (Zelda Link between worlds edition). After the system transfer I'm wondering if I can then format the source 3ds xl with animal crossing and redownload the animal crossing on eshop so I can sell it on ebay? This way the buyer will have a clean slate along with the game and I can have all my saved data on the target 3ds XL?
If it isn't possible, what will then be the best way of transferring game save data to the new 3ds XL (Zelda Link between worlds edition)? If it I lose my eshop account games that's fine since there's only Animal Crossing 3ds XL. I've read that the save files are difficult to deal with since if it isn't an exact match none of the saves work. Is copying the save game data as simple as copying and pasting the entire folder to a computer and overwriting to the new SD card? Thanks guys.
