So I hadn't played my 3ds in a couple months, and decided to wait to start playing until I got my hands on a new 3ds xl to start again. I bought the system and my XL is nowhere to be found. I have literally torn apart my apartment trying to find it. The last time I had it was a sandwhich place. First thing that comes to my mind is I don't want to lose all of the digital games I had since I had like 20 of them.
I called up Nintendo, explained the situation. I was asked for a bunch of info including the serial number of my other system which at the time I didn't have. The guy said they could transfer the games for me and that I will receive an email with instructions.
I then realized that the serial numbers are printed on the box the system came in. I am going to call tomorrow and give that to them. I have two takes on all of this:
1. Getting stuff stolen sucks
1. It is fucking ridiculous that in 2015 we are having to deal with our games being tied to a system when fucking Valve has allowed you to log into any pc and download your games since 2004!
Needless to say I am super nervous about what will happen since I had over $250 in games on there. Has anyone else been down this road? What was your experience?
