Nintendo DSiWare - Image 1If you’re hoping to transfer your DSiWare purchases to additional DSi machines, we’re sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you can’t. Nintendo has revealed via Eurogamer that this just isn’t possible as your Nintendo DS wares – games or applications – are exclusive only for the type of system they were brought on.

The clarification was made as Nintendo prepares to launch three new DSi colors for Europe next month. The three new colors will also carry pre-installed Facebook and Flipnote Studio apps.

But what about if your handheld breaks down? You can send it in for repair and they’ll be the ones to transfer your DSiWare downloads. Yeah, they’re really strict about this one.
