Gaming N3DS Content transfer without format?

[ThomasJB]

So I have the MajorasMask 3DS preordered and also planning to pick up a regular N3DS on friday.

I'd like to transfer the preinstalled Majoras Mask Game over to my other 3DS but also keep it on the XL one.
How would I go forward to do so?

Things that I thought about:

-on a pc, simply copy items from one sd card to the other
-Transfer files via 3ds, but then loose the content on one (right?)

Also, If at some point, I'd want to resell the Majoras Mask 3DS, would I be able to reset to factory settings and have the copy of Majoras Mask in place? (Since it came with the system?)

Thanks for any help!

As far as I know, after the transfer you will be left with no info on the original 3DS.
The only thing I can think about to still keep all your things in both 3DS', is to make the transfer, and then make a NAND restore in the original 3DS AFTER the transfer.

I did the same thing with my Wii after the Wii U transfer and recovered all my WiiWare games and other stuff.
If you have a Gateway or other means to do a NAND backup/restore, go for it.
