Question about downloadable version

[TheEchoTimes]

If you have the download version of ACNL, buy a new system, and transfer the system data and use the same SD card from the old system into the new system, will your town still be there once everything is transferred?

Yes! When I transferred everything, everything was in it's place.
But when I transferred I used the new SD card from my new 3DS, not my old SD card.
If you are still unsure, maybe make a save data backup on your old SD card?

 

[TheEchoTimes]

You can't backup ACNL on the SD card though.
But yeah, I can use the old SD card. So the save file WILL be there, no glitching out or anything?

I was worried about the same thing before I did transfer five months ago, but it did work out and till today I had no problems. Every game was in it's place like in my old 3DS. It should work out, I think.
(Also I messed up, the new 3DS uses not SD cards but microSD cards.)
