Upgrading 3DS SD Card

[oath2order]

So, I'm looking to upgrade my 3DS SD card. Now I read that any will work, but I wanted to be sure before I spent money.

will either of these work:

This

and

This?

Also, how do I transfer data onto a new SD card?

Either of those would work fine. Ideally, you want one with a higher Class for faster read/write speeds, but it's not essential. This is the SD card I'm using in my 3DS right now.

As for transferring, this isn't something unique to the 3DS so Google would probably help you best here. It's really simple though. Just put your original SD card in your computer, copy the contents into some folder, put the new SD card in and transfer the contents from the folder onto the new card.

Oh. That's easy.

Would the class rating affect the playing of New Leaf much?

It's possible it might affect how fast screenshots are taken but I couldn't tell you for sure as I don't have the game. Might be worth testing when the game is out.

Well, I'm doing digital download.

Screenshots. Nyeh.

Don't quote me on this but I believe the retail version will be faster at saving/loading pretty much no matter what. SD cards just can't compete with an actual cart really.

OH RIGHT. Y'know, for some reason, I got it in my head that there would be space taken up on my card if I still bought cartridge. *facepalm*

Screenshots will still be saved on the SD card with the retail version, which is why I mentioned it earlier. But yeah, general save data would be on the game cart.

Personally, I'd go for a 32 GB card, but that's just me. I download a lot of things.

 

[oath2order]

I'm just gonna go for the hard copy. No need to spend extra money.

I'm using the SD card that I had for my wii and it works great but I will still be getting a physical copy

Here's the one I use: click mofo

I only use Sandisk cards and they all work great.

I have the game myself. It does for screenshots quite a bit, but game-play not much at all.

What do you guys think of this? Help me make a purchase decision

scratch that piece of junk

I was deciding on whether to get class 10 or class 6 for the 3DS. After thinking, the 3DS shouldnt need more than class 6.

Sock would this work for gameplay of ACNL?

Why would it not? It's a 16 GB Class 10 SDHC card. Looks like a deal to me

Well, I just mean in terms of running the game at a decent speed.

Okay, I believe it will be perfect for ACNL. Class 10 is one of the fastest SD cards out there. And New Leaf runs perfectly on the stock SD card. I don't think the 3DS needs a super fast write speed besides downloading the game. I believe even a class 6 should be fine for something like the 3DS. Higher class SD cards are usually good for those high-tech HD cameras and camcorders

Oh, so it should speed up the download too?
