Maybe you're tempted by one of those two new colors of DSi that were released earlier this month and want to pick one up. If that's the case, be warned that when upgrading to a new DSi, none of your purchases on the DSiWare service are coming with you, at least in Australia.
Nintendo of Australia revealed to Nintendo Life (via GoNintendo) their policy on this, which is to say, you simply can't bring your games with you. This is completely at ends with what you can do with Sony's PSP, which allows you to download your games by simply logging into PSN or connecting to your computer and using the PSP Media Manager to transfer content.
There is an important exception to this: Should your DSi break and be rendered unplayable, Nintendo can transfer your purchases, provided they have their hands on both your broken DSi and your new one.
We've contacted Nintendo of America to discover if this policy also applies here in the United States. We'll report back once we have word.
