    Motherfuckers!
    My 3DS touch screen stopped working a few days ago, but alas, I went to the store and they gave me back the money.
    Turns out theres no more fucking Monster Hunter 3DS consoles anymore so I had to content myself with the standard grey New 3DS XL, I got 25€ bucks extra so I decided to make do with what I had and get Phoenix Wright.
    Everything was fine until I try to connect my Nintendo account to my new 3DS (which has 15.01€ inside and Etrian Odissey IV) and that shit says I can't connect to my account because it's already associated with a broken DS that no one will ever touch again.
    Apparently I need to have the non-working 3DS WORKING to transfer my data...
    IF I COULD DO THAT I WOULDN'T NEED TO DO THAT!
    God, I'm pissed.

      Editing … Wait, you didn't know? Nintendo's online infrastructure's garbage. I've been a 3DS owner since 2012, but I've only spent 20 euros on digital purchases precisely because of BS like this. Honestly, you've made things really hard on yourself by not having access to the old system anymore. Not sure if customer support can help you now as they always ask for a serial key. But hey, you can always try. I recommend calling them or using their live chat support rather than emailing them.

      Editing … I couldn't get the new DS without giving back the old one. Should have gotten the serial key, dunno if it's on my purchase proof. Regardless, it's my account associated with my email that I want, my NNID.

      Editing … Nintendo doesn't know shit when it comes to handling online accounts, it's why I refuse to use their eShop. Some people have had luck contacting support.

      Editing … You say it's the account that you want, but I assume you also want your digital copy of Etrian Odyssey and 15 euros back? Well, the game and money are associated with the console, not your account. NNID is not a 3DS launch feature but added like 3 years later. Before that you'd just buy digital games without any sort of login. I know, it's crazy. It's why the serial key is so important, as that's your true user ID. I'm guessing you're gonna contact them today? If their working hours are inconvenient for you, you might be able to get away with contacting Australian customer support since they're part of the PAL region. Anyway, curious to hear how it goes. If you're a big-shot on Twitter you can always make a big stink about it there. That always seems to work.

      Editing … I think what you're saying stopped being like that in the New 3DS, I can't buy stuff (or download free games) with my new console because I'm not creating a new NNID and they don't let me finalize the buy
