Nintendo restores lost downloads
The biggest issue gamers had with Nintendo downloads is the fact that the downloads are specific to the device that downloaded them not a gaming profile like on the Sony or Microsoft consoles. This means if you lose the console you also lose your downloads which would be a serious problem; however Nintendo does offer to transfer the data over to a new system if you lose your 3DS. Thanks to one gamer losing his 3DS he contacted Nintendo and they had this to say.
“Thanks for contacting us. I’m sorry to hear that your Nintendo 3DS is missing. We can help you transfer your data to a new system. Normally I would refer you to our website, however, the Nintendo 3DS data transfer issue you inquired about can only be addressed by speaking with you directly. We will need to verify some information in order to assist you, and due to that information’s sensitive nature we cannot do so through email. Therefore, once you have a new system we ask that you please give us a call.”
So this is good news for anyone going digital for Nintendo games because there is a way to restore your games if you lose your console, so those who decided against eshop downloads can breathe a sigh of relief.
