Downloadable software

Nintendo 3DS Download Software

Some Nintendo 3DS software is available exclusively through Nintendo eShop.
You can save a maximum of 300 Nintendo 3DS Download Software titles and Virtual Console titles on an SD Card. If there is
insufficient space on the SD Card, you may need to create some blocks of free space by deleting data in Data Management
(see page 72) or moving data to a high capacity SDHC Card (see page 24).

Virtual Console

With the Virtual Console service you can download games that were originally released on platforms prior to Nintendo DS,
such as Game Boy™ and Game Boy™ Color.

Nintendo DSiWare

You can also download Nintendo DSiWare from Nintendo eShop. Nintendo DSiWare was originally released for the Nintendo
DSi system. There are many types of software titles available from Nintendo eShop, from games to useful tools and other
applications.
You can save a maximum of 40 Nintendo DSiWare titles. If there is insufficient space in System Memory, you may need to
create some blocks of free space by deleting software (see page 72). To play Nintendo DSiWare saved on an SD Card, you
must first transfer it into the Nintendo 3DS System Memory.

Requirements for downloading software:

A Nintendo 3DS system set up to
connect to the Internet, and one of
the following:

• Nintendo 3DS

Prepaid Card

• Nintendo 3DS

Prepaid Card
activation number

• Credit Card

To be able to download software from Nintendo eShop, you must add
a balance to your Nintendo eShop account.
Nintendo 3DS Prepaid Cards (available at many retail outlets) are cards that
have a Nintendo 3DS Prepaid Card activation number printed on the back. If
you register a Nintendo 3DS Prepaid Card activation number in your Nintendo
3DS system, a balance is added to your Nintendo eShop account.

NOTE: You can restrict the use of credit cards, prepaid cards, and online
purchasing of content and services from Nintendo eShop with the Parental
Controls feature (see page 68).

You can start AR Games from the HOME Menu. These games use AR Cards that are included
with your Nintendo 3DS system. Using the outer cameras, the system can read the AR
Cards and make magic happen! AR Cards display game stages or characters that can be
recognized by the cameras.

IMPORTANT: When playing AR Card games, you may have to move around the area while holding the Nintendo 3DS system.
Make sure you have enough room, and hold the system firmly with both hands while playing.

Your Nintendo 3DS system includes six AR Cards. Use the “?” AR card to start game play.

Character AR Cards

Use these cards when playing Star Pics.
NOTE: If you are not playing Star Pics, do not use these cards and the “?” AR
Card together.

To play AR Games, place the AR Card on a flat, well-lit surface, and keep it within the sights of your system’s outer cameras
at an appropriate distance and angle. A menu screen will then appear on top of the AR Card. Try playing by moving your
Nintendo 3DS system around while keeping the card within sight of the cameras.
