I just now today got the ACHH bundle because I needed a new DS.
I had planned on taking the old SD card from my 3DS XL since a lot of my games and extras are on it, but I had no idea the New 3DS's have micro SD cards.
I don't have anything that can read the micro SD card, so I have no idea what to do.
I need this to work or else I spent $200 for no reason.
Any help would be really helpful.

What I would really like to do is transfer my digital save to my physical cartridge.
I do have Action Replay, so I can change saves.
If there is a way I could get my digital save onto there, that would be great.

Thank you to anyone in advance.
 
Since you don't have any means of accessing your New 3DS's 4GB microSD card, you'll only have a choice of 2 out of the available transfer methods.


One of them is Wireless Transfer, which pretty much transfer everything from your source 3DS's internal memory and even the entire SD Card content. Since it can take many hours depending on much content there is, I don't recommend doing this method at all.

The other method you could do is to perform a Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer. Just like the Wireless Transfer one, you'll carry over pretty much every. The only difference is that it won't copy the downloaded content of every game, but the saved data for each game will be preserved to your New 3DS. While you will have to redownload all of your games from eShop, this method can be done in less than an hour.


Once you've settled on your preferred transfer method, make sure that your Internet Connection is stable enough before attempting to perform a System Transfer. Chances are, if your Internet fails, you might end up kissing your download history a goodbye.
 
Or if you prefer to do it via your PC you can try getting a MicroSD to USB adapter. They are very cheap and useful :D
