So I found my old 3DS.

Decided to try to play on it... with ACNL.

When turned on, I found that the resume file option was gone.

What happens if I click "New File"?
Would my current file end up being corrupted?
 
Did you try shutting it off and taking the cartridge out and back in? Does this happen with your other 3DS?
 
Does the old 3DS have the ACNL update on it? Players have put their games in 3DS that weren't update and the game didn't work.
Add it if you haven't and see if that fixes the problem.

Oh.
Haven't updated NL on the 3DS yet. :eek:
Perhaps doing so will fix it.

Also...
Mostly asking since I can possibly have two towns with one cartridge.
So... even if this isn't with the WA update, still would be nice to have it like that. :3

Yep.
Did that aplenty
Didn't try to push the "New Save File" button, though I get curious...
 
Starting a new town will overwrite anything already existing.

As others have said, if it's a town with the Welcome Amiibo update, download the update from the eShop to get things working. Otherwise, perhaps something's gone wrong and your town's just... gone. :eek:

What do you mean about possibly having two towns on the one cartridge? I've not heard of any legitimate way of doing that.
