<p>A service, which many Nintendo 3DS gamers are hoping will be released worldwide, is due to be released in just two days&#8230; in Japan.</p>
<p>The service transfers save data between 3DS retail game cartridges and 3DS digital downloads, meaning if you purchase a digital copy of <em>Mario Kart 7</em> for example and then (for some reason) want a physical copy, you’ll be able to simply transfer the save between the two.</p>
<p>You may be thinking, therefore, that we’ll soon see websites set up distributing 100% save files for gamers to download, incorrect. Nintendo warns that the tool is intended to move, not duplicate, save data. This means that if you move a retail save to a digital download title that the save on the original 3DS game cartridge will be erased.</p>
<p>Would you be interested in this feature being made available worldwide?</p>
