Nintendo releasing 3DS data transfer tool in March
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Currently, there isn’t a way to transfer save data between a retail 3DS game and a title downloaded from the eShop. In March, however, this issue will be solved.
Speaking in a short Japanese Nintendo Direct published only on the 3DS eShop, company president Satoru Iwata promised that a transfer tool will be released in no more than a couple of months. Nintendo had said last year that it was working on a solution, but did not give an exact date for the tool’s launch.
More games are coming digitally to the Japanese eShop. Pocket Soccer League Calciobit, Culdcept, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokémon Rumble Blast and nintendogs + cats will be available next week.

A new Colors! 3D update will likely arrive next month.
The game’s developer posted a message on Facebook stating it will be submitted to Nintendo soon. Once that’s done, the update will see release soon after.
“… the Colors! 3D update is pretty much finished and will be submitted to Nintendo in a few days, so the February estimate seems to be reasonable still.”
