If I ever decide to buy another 3DS some day, can I transfer my downloaded games and virtual console from the 3DS shop, along with my Miis and other data I've saved on my current 3DS onto a new 3DS? Or will I have to start from scratch?

I think you can with the latest firmware update: Linky. Transferring games to 3DS > How to transfer software from one 3DS to another.

EDIT: Linking isn't working -.- Here it is: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/ht_apps.jsp

Yes, you can transfer absolutely everything, leaving the old 3DS in a blank state.

Thank you! Answered my question :)

There is a limit though, to how many titles you can transfer; when I checked it out, it said:

Transfers remaining for this system: 5.
