He also ripped out the SD card and ate half of it. All my downloaded games, my streetpass data, puzzle pieces etc. Gone. :-(

So what do I do now? If I get a new one do I just start over from scratch? Is there a way I can retrieve my Mii? Maybe from someone else's street pass? I need hope.

This is a terrible feeling.

Also, feel free to share a story about your 3DS.

Here are pics...







Update: Holy crap! You guys were talking about the system transfer and I cut it on to check it out a bit more and I went to the activity log and it still had my steps and titles played. I thought that was weird since my downloaded games were gone and when I went to the streetpass section I thought it told me to make another Mii. Turns out I failed at reading ( I guess I wasn't thinking clearly given the situation) and it was just telling me there was no SD card and asked me to uses another SD card, I skip through that and I'm right back in the plaza with all my data! I'm so relieved! Woo!

Also, people were asking for pics of my dog, so here's my Shiba, Loki (damn that name now)

[Mzo]

Now you put it down.

Humanely, if you're feeling generous.

[Lyphen]

Rub his belly.

[Neuromancer]

Holy shit. Well, time to buy a 3DS XL!

I dropped my OG DS into the toilet. Later, I lost it.

[subversus]

feed it pizza

my condolences man. it's time to buy PC, mwhahaha! the dog won't eat it

[Combichristoffersen]

If your dog has to resort to eating your 3DS, I think it's time to start feeding it.

Seriously though, get a new one when 3DS XL launches. Regular 3DS should drop in price then, I'd guess.

[Crewnh]

So much for nintendium.

[rpmurphy]

The 3DS has some amount of internal flash memory, right? How much of that is used for the built-in apps?

[Grisby]

Wow, your dog went to town on that thing.

[dallow_bg]

Crazy that he got the SD card out.

That blows.

[Claude]

Buy a Vita.

[corporate cheerleader]

You're gonna take him to a vet?

[astroturfing]

can dogs even see the 3D?

[Forever]

Oh man he really went straight for the SD card huh.

[Joe Prodigy]

What happens with games that use my Mii for the save file? Like Mario Tennis or Kart. Nothing?

[ElFly]

Crazy that he got the SD card out. That blows.

How the fuck did that happen.

His dog fingers are too big to press on the card to make it spring out!

[Gustav]

Time to get a 3DS XL, I guess.

[subversus]

can dogs even see the 3D?

only taste it.

[Soka]

Take him to the vet.

Also, does the system still work?

[Cramoss]

It's like your dog wanted you to have the new 3DS XL.

[Flachmatuch]

Eat its rubber bone or whatever toys dogs have for revenge.

[milesdm]

Nintendo is doomed.

[Kyoufu]

The dog has taste.

[BY2K]

Guess Nintendo didn't test Nintendonium on dogs.

[Sporran]

id say he was lucky he didnt get to the battery, would have been fatal!

[jonezer4]

Weird. My dog jumped up on my dining room table to eat my copy of Mario Kart for 3DS.

What is it about this system that makes it so insatiably appealing to canines, and how can Nintendo cash in on this?

3DS game cartridge shaped dog treats seems like an obvious first choice.

id say he was lucky he didnt get to the battery, would have been fatal!

Nah, battery not strong enough (lol).

[badgenome]

Maybe he's a Nintendog.

[MoogleWizard]

Are you sure he didn't swallow anything? I'd take him to the vet, just to be sure. Sharp objects could become dangerous.

[Ninja Scooter]

make a fake 3DS out of chocolate and leave it lying around.

[LiK]

Buy a 3DS XL.

[TimeEffect]

Sell your dog, use the money to get a new 3DS

[TheBioLover]

Buy a Vita.

Kidding.........sort of.

[Sgt.Pepper]

Does he like Vita too?

[Nibel]

He probably got angry because he couldn't see the 3D effect

The dog has taste.

:P

[JambiBum]

He was just upset that he wasn't the feature dog in Nintendogs.

[sakipon]

You could try checking his poop. Maybe your Mii winds up there.

Seriously though, I've been sometimes fearing for the 3DS screens since my cat likes to touch them. He also touches my smart phone screen. Probably just wants to play with with the same toys I do.

[schwabdizzle]

at least your dog didn't choke on it and die. Sounds like you left it in a irresponsible place.

[CrunchinJelly]

Trade it in to Gamestop for a 3DS XL.

[MasterShotgun]

If it still turns on, you should be able to transfer most of your data to a new 3DS. This includes data that will allow you to redownload your games on a new 3DS. I'm not sure about the Streetpass data.

[Übermatik]

Correction - he didn't eat it. Now that would have been a pickle, eh! Aheheh.

Anywho, give it to your local Chinese delicatessen. And then sell the dog.

[Curufinwe]

Next time, get a dog that can barely chew food.

[Gustav]

Trade it in to Gamestop for a 3DS XL.

Can't believe you're the first guy who said this.

[MarshMellow96]

Stand right in front of him at the right distance and say, 'bad dog'.

Should work.

[Neuromancer]

can dogs even see the 3D?

Yes but its in black and white

[9thwonder]

Is your dog still........alive??????

[olimpia84]

Does it still turn on?
I guess this is a good (but unfortunate) excuse to get a 3DS XL

[Gustav]

Stand right in front of him at the right distance and say, 'bad dog'. Should work.

Or eat something that belongs to him. That'll show him!

[astroturfing]

Yes but its in black and white

nah dogs can see more colors than that.

[Boney]

My uncle's dog almost ate my copy of OOT3D I had lying on the table.

You could try sending the system to Nintendo to get a system transfer. You'd need another console though I guess.

[Majine]

can dogs even see the 3D?

It would've explaned that reaction.
