So I just got off the phone with a Nintendo of America supervisor. He told me that due to a new policy, any NNID that only has a purchase that was pulled from the eshop on it cannot be transferred by them.

For background, I purchased Legends of Exidia on my gf's 2DS two weeks ago. I also downloaded the free Steel Diver. I then system transferred twice and hacked two other 2DS with it. So, wanting to avoid another system transfer to get it back to my system, I called up Nintendo and gave them the information...got a confirmation over the phone that the transfer was in progress. Then woke up today to an email telling me to call their supervisor line.

I confirmed before getting off with him that I could just do the system transfer myself and just re-download it that way, he got kinda dumb sounding and was like "Yeah, you definitely could do that. I'm so sorry we can't help you."

I just thought my friends at GBAtemp should know, in case you are in the same situation and want NoA to transfer your NNID w/ LoE.

I imagine if you have other purchases that aren't pulled, this won't apply to you.

Uh oh, I was planning to transfer back to my source 3DS tonight.

I have other purchases though (incl. other DSiWare), we'll see how it goes

You should be okay then, I was told it was because the only purchase I had was pulled from the shop. He made it sound like if I had other purchases, they could've done it.

I think they're just trying to screw over the downgraders and cfw users that only purchased the game for it's hax.
