Want your DSi saved data on your shiny, new DSi XL? It seems Nintendo are agreeing to transfer consumers' data across the systems. Head inside for more...

While there is no pre-programmed method for owners of Nintendo's DSi to transfer their saved and downloaded data across to the newly-released DSi XL, it appears to company are willing to step in and perform the transfer themselves.

Markus Pfeffer recently got into contact with N-Europe to inform us that Nintendo agreed to receive his hardware to transfer data across the two platforms. It should be stipulated, not ALL data was transferred across in this case, but it's certainly a service we advise looking in to. He managed this by contacting his local Nintendo branch in Germany.

So while there is no official policy for transferring data across, it seems well worth getting into touch with Nintendo themselves. Readers in the UK can find all the relevant contact details for Nintendo here, and readers residing across the Europe can also get their respected details at Nintendo Europe's website.

Obviously, we cannot categorically confirm that Nintendo will instantly agree to all cases free of charge, but we really do recommend calling up and insisting that you've a right to access your own software on your new console.

Special thanks to Markus for the tip-off!
