So I was currently planning on region changing a JP new 3ds to U.S. using this method: and I was wondering the best way to move my NNID to this new region changed JP to U.S. console that has full access to Eshop.

1.) Call Nintendo support to move NNID - The issue with this is that I believe you have to provide the serial # of the new 3ds that you will transfer to? Even though the region changed 3DS is now U.S. I would assume nintendo would see the japanese serial # and not do the transfer

2.) Make a backup of the hacked region changed 3ds and use my old 3ds with the NNID on it to transfer the NNID via a system transfer. After this I would restore the NAND backup on the region changed 3ds since the transfer is just needed to move the NNID on nintendo's servers.
Thoughts? (and thank you!)

You have to make the Japanese 3DS into an US region then do system transfer.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.
