Good news everyone!

...Nintendo really needs to get on the ball fixing this nonsense. Both Sony and MS allow content to be transfered to new systems, even if their methods are a little convoluted. It's a problem with their Wii, in the case that anyone ever decides to buy a new one rather than ship their old Wii in for repair. Nintendo currently has NO methods in place to handle transferring content between systems, and that's a failure on their part. This is especially true considering the almost inevitable release of an improved version of the 3DS down the road All things considering, it's a really good thing I never got a DSi and bought content for that. I'd be unable to sell it without losing downloaded games forever.
I have to ask. What is the point of linking your system ID to your Nintendo Fun Club ID if it won't actually help you with this sort of thing? It's one thing to have lackluster online support, that's just a failure to catch up to the others. This goes beyond that to a failure to actually serve your customers.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
