I lost the card so the game. I'm now wondering if I can download the game for free in the e-shop because I don't want to buy it again (game is: Animal Crossing New Leaf). Is that possible? I heard about the download link in the packaging?!

You can try it, but I never thought it would work

This is unfortunately not possible. You will have to pay it again.

No that is not possible. You have to buy it again.
