So long story short, I had originally bought the Limited Edition Animal Crossing 3DS last year when it launched. Durring the holiday season I recieved the Limited edition Zelda 3DS as a gift. I transfered all my games over to my new DS and save files and thought nothing the matter of the sort. I went to go play Animal Crossing today seeing how I haven't played it in a few months and wanted to check in on my town. I recieved a message saying that the game could not be opened and that I needed to redownload it. I checked the eShop but it said that I would have have to pay to download the game again. I emailed Nintendo expressing my frustration for losing a product that I paid for and having currently the only option be to repurchase the game. I hope this issue is easily resolvable, I've seen others post about this specific topic on different forums so I hope they get back to me quickly and with no furter issues.
-Transfered files via the system tranfer on the systems.
-The old SD card was swapped into the new system.
