3DS and SD Cards... - Skyla Doragono - 12-16-2015
So, I'm looking to get a bigger SD card for my 3DS, but I've... never really needed to expand it past the original SD card that came with the unit before. So I'm not sure what the restrictions are on what will read and what's compatible, things like that.
Basically, there's a 32GB Kingston MicroSD with adapter on sale at Amazon for dirt cheap and I want to make sure it'll work before I snatch it.

You should be OK. Kingston's a pretty dang good brand and as long as it's in the adapter, it shouldn't be a problem. You'll still have to transfer data over to a New 3DS if you ever decide to upgrade, though because of the ridiculous intricacies of the filesystem :/
(in other words, you can't simply take the microSD+adapter card out of your 3DS, take it out of the adapter, pop it into a "New" 3DS and expect it to work)

Yeah, I know that part; I had an original 3DS before this one, so I've had to transfer before. Though when the time comes for me to get a New 3DS, I don't think I'll be selling my old system, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks a bunch!
