I've looked on the internet quite a bit on the subject, but haven't been able to find a straight answer. I'm curious if it's possible to be able to transfer my digital animal crossing town onto another 2DS (from a 2DS xl)? I do have applications on this other 2DS already which I don't want to loose. My shoulder button broke and I miss being about to take screenshots! Thank you so much!
Your digital games are linked to your NNID and you can have only one NNID per system. The only way to transfer your digital town is via system transfer, which will wipe everything on your second console.
Old digital ACNL or New Welcome Amiibo digital?
If you have the old digital ACNL before the update it can be imported to a New WELCOME Amiibo cartridge. Welcome Amiibo digital can't be imported to a Welcome Amiibo cartridge. The New Welcome amiibo cartridge has the RV on the box art.
The New Welcome Amiibo digital/cartridge added an import town on the loading screen. Place the Welcome Amiibo cartridge in the 3DS that has your digital town. Open the game and pick import town. The game will looks for your digital town and than follow the instructions. It's done in a few minutes.
I've moved 2 old digital towns to the NEW Welcome Amiibo cartridge. The only thing I lost was the houses in the showcase that I street passed.
I've also moved my main town cartridge from 2013 to the Welcome Amiibo cartridge. At the time the old cartridge was popping out of the 3DS and was having problems saving.
Placed the Welcome Amiibo Cartridge in the 3DS and picked import town. Game found the digital copy and I said no. It than said to remove the Welcome Amiibo Cartridge and place the other cartridge in the 3DS. Followed the instructions and my town moved in a short period of time.
