Step 1: Install the CIA
Step 2: Prepare the 3DS Side
Step 3: Prepare the Switch Side
Step 4: Finalize
It is important to manage expectations. The app transfers your Hunter Data, but not your Guild Card Data. Step 1: Install the CIA
What Transfers:
What Does NOT Transfer:
If you bought a used 3DS today, or if you never downloaded the transfer app before the eShop closure, you are locked out. The official servers for download are down, even though the transfer function (uploading to Nintendo’s relay server) is still active.
There are third-party tools and apps designed for managing and transferring 3DS data, but it's crucial to use them cautiously, as they might not always work as expected and could potentially cause issues with your data. Step 2: Prepare the 3DS Side
This method bypasses the Transfer App entirely but requires a modded Switch, which is a much higher barrier to entry than a modded 3DS.
