So what actually happens to games you've downloaded onto a 3DS if it dies and is no longer under warranty? Are you just out of luck? Or can you buy a new 3DS and send it to Nintendo along with the old one to get the games transferred?
What ACTUALLY happens to downloads if a 3ds dies?

If you've downloaded them to the SD card, theoretically, you should be able to just use the SD card on another 3DS.
Or you could do as you said, and just send the 3DS to Nintendo and hopefully get your games replaced.

You will need to get it repaired, to transfer games onto another 3DS (Even by SD Card) You need to do a system transfer to transfer everything over onto the new 3ds. Either that or call Nintendo up, i heard that they can get you your games back.
Well, I've finally found my Starfox, and I love it.

Theoretically you can play 3DS games on a Vita.

Didn't they update system transfer tool to transfer between 3ds' ?
If it's unable to boot, Nintendo would be obligated to transfer them or fix the original for a fee.

Yeah, you can transfer between 3ds's. I was wondering specifically what would happen if you couldn't even turn the broken one on.

You simply send both to Nintendo and the transfer it all over. Only way to do it if the old one is dead.
