You can never merge 2 SD-cards. You should have paid attention during the transfer-process, there are several options and explanations.
Do this: Wipe your 32GB-card, copy the contents of the 4GB one over and then re-download the games from the eShop. Your saves should still be there.

Not possible, that ID is now your sons ID. Make a new one on your New 3DS and then create a new user in the WiiU and connect them.

Thanks for the response. Fuck Nintendo though. I should be able to take my ID off and leave my son's profile and game saves on his system as they are part of his profile - not mine.. My profile doesn't have any game saves. Such a shit system!

Tell them to unlink the NNID and boom, re-register. Or ask them to transfer it there, to keep the saves (since the manual PC back-up probably won't work since the new unit won't recognize it, I bet). Surely that must be an option.
No.

The moment you put the ID on the 3DS it replaces the "nameless"-account before it, which is actually a good thing. And I think there are some messages warning about this in the linking-process.
I wasnt trying to merge them, it was a simple system transfer from my xl to my new 3DS but i was stupid and transferred from a 32gb to a 4gb. Reformatting and trying again worked so something must have screwed up in the first transfer.

That's fucking ridiculous. I never had a 3DS at the time and wasn't planning on getting one so I didn't think anything of it.
So my options are to A) Create a new ID with a new username, leaving my credit and regular username in the care of my Son. B) Transfer my ID to my 3DS and create a new ID for my son and he has to start Animal Crossing and Yoshi's Island all over again.
Welp, fuck you Nintendo. I was on the fence on whether or not I should keep the Ambassador Edition or sell it for profit. You've just made up my mind.

Oh god what have you done. ;-;
I need those black/white monster hunter, pokemon AND mario stamp cover plates. ;-;
Will ask them if that's an option if they get back to me. The information I posted was based on someone else's experience with their system (the stylus scratched their touch screen and called customer support to get it sorted out). Don't think they have any systems left though as they still haven't gotten back to me so it looks like I'm waiting till next month to get it sorted.
My system is still "playable" so the wait won't be that bad, just the fault I have is distracting.

Well, any retail games are saved to the card, rather than an ID, so those won't be changed at all. Though I suspect you're aware of this already. Just grasping at a straw here.
There is no way to seperate download games/saves from the NNID used to purchase them/used to redeem download codes though.

It's not the games I'm worried about - I don't think I bought any digital games. I only put my ID on there so my son could try a demo.
All I'm worried about is his game saves. Now, before I throw my toys out the pram and sell the New 3DS, will doing this transfer his save games back to his DS but keep the ID on my DS (following a transfer)?

Hang on, maybe I'm misunderstanding.
If you didn't buy any digital games, and your son only has retail copies of games, his game saves are saved entirely on the game cards and not on the 3DS.
You'll have nothing to worry about if this is the case, as (to repeat myself) all save data beyond some little streetpass stuff is saved to the little white 3DS gamecards and not the system SD card.
You could take any gamecard and put it in any 3DS and access the same save data, no matter what NNID is used.
Otherwise, if you do have digital versions, no that won't work, unfortunately.
Yeah, I am confused about that as well.
If there are no digital games then he really has nothing to worry about when transferring. I believe only Fantasy Life stored save data onto the SD card. DLC as well.
So they transfer all your data to the new console?

Oh my god, I'm such a fucking idiot! I even knew the games get saved on the cartridge because my three kids share the games!
Dude, thanks so much for thinking of the obvious - you saved me a lot of hassle
Happy days!

Haha, well, the obvious answers are the easiest to miss!
Glad it sounds like it will all work out. You can transfer your ID to your new 3DS with no worries.
Just called Nintendo Italy for some info about my fault new 3DS and they responded that they didn't know what to do and to send a mail (already done) to info@nintendo.it
I'm furious...

Thanks man, my 7 yr old will be pleased. The nicest thing though, we was begging me to just sacrifice his saves last night just so we can play together, though I'd never have done it. The boy is a legend.
Now to get myself a copy of Animal crossing and 2 copies of Fantasy Life!

Considered the number of people who has having problems I should feel lucky that I was at home today to take my console.
And about my problem about the spedition:

I just downloaded the Smash Bros demo on my 3DS and my sons. We just had a brilliant father/son moment of beating the beans out of each other on hand helds. We've done it plenty of times before on the Wii U version but this felt special. I didn't think the game would be that good on the DS.
The right thumbstick was really useful but I found myself not using it to even the playing field with my son. The console felt really comfortable in the hand but I did get a sore left thumb after a while - this mat be because of the size. Perhaps I'm more suited to an XL?
Other than that - I love it. I can't wait to get some games

Received mine yesterday
First thoughts
- 3D tracking works fine, even in the dark
- C-stick is ... strange lol. I didn't know it was a fixed rubber button, you just push it with little force and it responds on screen, but the button itself doesn't move
- Transfer done without problems from OG 3DS
- Version was 9.0.0.20E (you have to update for the transfer)
- Circle pad it's a bit smaller and seems stronger
- Bigger screens ARE noticeable coming from OG, and now come with auto-brightness (a bit wonky)
- Load times are FAST. Navigating in the home menu is a lot faster than before. Inside apps (browser, friends...) are about 2seconds, and returning to the home menu is almost instantaneous. Also in-game loadings like Smash Bros. are a lot faster too
- SNES buttons = LOVE

Well I'm glad that my new 3DS didn't have defects (but strangely, the inside of the box had one). It really feels better than my OG 3DS, and even if I liked already the 3D before, this is just amazing now.
Will do the transfer tomorrow (getting a new micro SD card), any tips for it? Mainly concerned about the SD to micro SD and saves transfer.

Here my problem in a video: as you can see when I press it down or right the c-stick doesn't take the input. It only take the input from up and left.
Hope that no one has the same issue.

What's the problem exactly?
You don't see from the video? The c-stick doesn't take the imput when I press it down or right.

There is a definitive improvement. You can see it clearly in MGS3D and OOT3D which both used 3D but a little too much at times to my tastes, now with the n3DS I can play them perfectly. It makes me very excited for Majora's Mask 3D
Plus the c-stick, while not being as precise as a true stick, still manages to be very playable (Smash Bros and MGS3D)
I never bought a nintendo portable upgrade, because I didn't see the point, but this one, I don't regret at all.
But I would say if you're not in a hurry, just wait for a demo stand and watch for yourself.

Another GermanGaf arrival here. Doing the transfer right now and am hoping it will run smooth. As stated before when copying via pc there are some errors in a few files

Just finished the data transfer and I must say I'm glad I jumped on the train. It's gorgeous!
The 3D is definitely improved with the use of eye tracking, even in a dimly lit room it works like a charm. It's so much better. Love it!!!

Couldn't tell from the video no, but now I see what you mean. That sucks.

Is it just me or is the top screen flickering even (or especially) in 2D (3d off) mode? It seems the head tracking is still working and adjusting the parallax barrier.
I just noticed this while the Pikmin are running left and right all the time
edit: just noticed the 2d off is snapping now. Did not push it over the snap. All good.

And you know what sucks most? The fact that at the moment they don't know how to manage problems about the new 3DS...

also remember that the auto-brightness adjust is on by default. that will also cause "flickering" if you move around a lot and the lighting conditions change. you can turn that off below the normal brightness settings if you want to.
Geez, well I guess that's part of being an ambassador
beta tester
I don't know if our repair agents are up to date yet but they've been out here a couple of months now. I assume they'll have to once they hit retail.
It really sucks for me...called the German office (btw. nice hold music: an orchestral version of the Kakariko theme), there were nice and everything, but have to get an approval from the Office in UK to send me a shipping label or refund shipping costs. I'm certainly not paying up to 20 Euro to send this thing in, I've already paid 205 for the system, geez...

Where do you come from? Japan or Australia?
I hope that for the end of February the repair center will have the knowledge and parts necessary for the repair :/
Yes. Home screen menu, where you change themes.
I don't have my new 3ds yet but I have a question about the network IDs.
Do I need to unlink my ID somehow from my old 3ds which I'm about to sell before I can use it on a new one? I already completely formatted the old 3ds so I don't know if that affected it or not.
I don't really care about transferring my games over I only had the gba ambassador games and some shitty dsiware. I just want to be able to use my account on my new console.

4 posts above this one, I posted the answer to that exact question
...you should've kept it and done a system transfer. now you get to call Nintendo's customer service so they untie your NNID from your 3DS which would've been a non issue if you had done the system transfer.
