Just the system update. Something must have changed because it suddenly started going really fast.
Just use your nails to gently pull the flap from the side, where the indentation is and lift up. Do it one side at a time. No damage here or whatsoever.
breathe my friend...
I'm not doubting you but try formatting it again
this guide might help

So after reading the transfer thread I'm still a little cautious. Here is what I think I should do...
Already have a microSD card with adapter on old 3DS XL.
Begin system transfer on both systems and chose PC.
Say no to using SD card.
When they turn off I move my MicroSD card to new 3DS XL.
Sounds right?

Nope! Don't select the PC option!!
There's an option for people like you who are already using a micro SD in an adapter. Use that one. That option assumes you are able to take the micro SD out of the adapter and put it straight into the New 3DS.
Hello North America, come hate me 
I got my New 3DS today (well, "yesterday", it's 1:48 AM here already... yeah I sleep late). It's the small one. I also got Majora's Mask collector's edition. I didn't have the money for a cover though, but I will wait for the black Zelda one, and a Xenoblade one if they decide to release one. Welp, some pics.
The Majora's Mask stuff rocking in my room:
We don't get the Skull Kid figure with Majora's Mask CE though. We only get it with the New 3DS XL Majora's Mask edition, which I'm not going to buy.
I'm really happy though.

Your 2nd and 3rd steps are redundant. You're going to say no because you have a micro SD and it's never going to go to the PC option. At the end you switch cards and you're done. It's what I did.
I have a microsd that I used in an adapter on my orig 3DS XL and I selected the PC option and that I wasn't using an SD or MiniSD. Worked fine. The PC option is correct.
It does if you do the transfer from system settings. Mine wouldn't do it on startup because it needed an update first. After the update I had to do the transfer through settings.

Does it matter the brand of micro SD card I buy? Something like Samsung or Sandisk is generally reliable right?
Must be nice...Hello North America, come hate me

I got a 32GB SanDisk Ultra card and it worked fine. Transfer went great too.
yes as long as it's formatted to fat32 with 32 or 64kb cluster size
i'm not sure just how slow some microsd can be but i think ideally you want a class 4 or 6 or higher (most are class 10 in recent years)
I wrote an article about my impressions of the console for the newspaper that I work for. Feel free to check it out if you'd like.

Do the old 3ds XL charge cradles work with the new one?
I have the one from Club Nintendo.

Yeah, it was more of a rhetorical question. I would consider torx a special screwdriver, but a philips head? No way.

No, but a very tiny philips screwdriver is not typically one you get with a tool set.

Is there an easier way to do it than Pikmin over wireless?
Since, it keeps erroring out on me.

I believe you need a #0 screwdriver, and you can get it an any hardware store.

Is it just me or do the 3D battle scenes on Pokemon ORAS have improved frame rates on the new 3DS
Edit: never mind I was wrong

I used one that wasn't very tiny at all and fits perfectly. This is the one I used and it's not one of those super tiny precision screwdrivers:

Guys I need help, I was about to buy Pokemon X & Y because I thought they were the latest. See, I haven't played a Pokemon game since Red & Blue.
Then I found out about Omega Ruby & Sapphire being the latest, however they appear to just be remakes.
I have buyer's paralysis. Should I get X/Y or Omega Ruby/Sapphire?

I'd recommend ORAS
I'm a complete novice but tried a little of both (X/Y and ORAS) and vastly preferred my short time with ORAS.
This is seemingly the consensus from
What I've read on the Internet also.

X any Y are the newest. Ruby and Sapphire are remakes of the 2003 games, but since you haven't played since Red/Blue all will be new experiences with you. You can jump into any of them without feeling lost. I personally recommend what I played, Version Y.
I unscrewed the two screws and then used a fingernail on both the left and right hand side (there's an indent meant for this on both sides) to lift it off. It felt flimsy to me and I wouldn't want to do it again. I got it back on no problem, but the placement of the power button made it hard to not turn the device back on while putting the cover back in place.
I'm not liking the XL size at all. I'm considering returning it and waiting for NOA to inevitably bring the regular size over. I need my portable to be actually portable. Torn on what to do. Fortunately Target gives you 30 days to decide.
While waiting for my order to arrive I was in Best Buy today and happen to try out the N3DSXL. I was concerned how things would look after some comments about the XL screen over the smaller size. Was able to demo Majora's Mask and all concerns I had are gone. I really like what I saw, how the device felt in my hand, and especially how the c-stick actually felt when moving the camera around. I had my doubts even in the face of positive comments but it really does indeed work extremely well.
Monday can't come quick enough. I picked up MM as well while there but not sure I want to start it just yet and will wait for my Monster Hunter bundle to arrive.

Got mine up and running the transfer went just fine but when I moved the card from my 3ds to the new 3ds one of the little screws holding the back cover popped out. I found the screw but not the little ring that holds it in. Kind of sucks but not a game changer, stupid idea to put it behind the back plate.
Any know if kid Icarus controls any better with the new c stick?

Slightly chipped my backplate taking the case off to replace the measly 4gb memory card.
Been awhile since I bought a Nintendo handheld, and the experience makes me wish they'd give up hardware altogether and just make games for other platforms.
From this bullshit of deconstructing my system for swapping a memory card to the antiquated menus, wobbly hinges, low res screens, and playskool UI throughout the system, it's so far behind everything else it's not even funny.
Anyway, on to the Zeldas I've missed over the years.

So it's definitely a #0 then? :/
