I got an used 3DS, and it came with 2 EShop games (Pokemon OR and DK Returns), the thing is, the old owner's account is still logged in and I lost all the contact info with him. My question is, if I format the console and log in with my Nintendo ID account, will I still be able to download the games it had installed? I saw some people online saying that those games are console bound instead of account bound, is that true?
Are 3DS eshop games console bound

Best Answer
I don't think so.
According to Nintendo FAQs:
If you format the console setting your own NNID you won't be able to download those games because they are tied to the previous NNID.
