They used to allow you to buy codes and email them to yourselfanother person on the Nintendo site I was able to do it once for a gift , but it seems like they got rid of that option earlier this year when they launched My Nintendo . You might be able to create an account on the Nintendo site and buy games for yourself there , and then when you get your 3 DS , log into the account you made and download the games you already bought . I ' m not sure that this would work though . Games are attached to your NNID so it should theoretically work if they let you buy them , but I ' m not sure they ' d let you buy them without a system to connect to . Hopefully someone who knows more about it can chime in too . <| sep |> Lift your legs into the air when you ' re squeezing one out .
