Topic: Animal crossing welcome amiibo screwed me over

I had purchased Animal Crossing New Leaf originally on the 3ds eshop, played it, enjoyed it, then uninstalled it for a new game. (Not much storage space on my 3ds lul). I wanted to play it again because I had never got the golden tools, so I went to redownload it. I found that because of the "Welcome Amiibo" update, Nintendo expected me to pay $19.99 USD for a game i had originally payed full price for 2 years prior. Can anyone offer any help on this? I know $19.99 USD isn't very much for a full game but I had already purchased the game and want to re-play it for FREE. Like every other eshop game. I have emailed Nintendo but no response. Any help is appreciated.

hmm, i'll try that.

Thanks so much man! I really appreciate the help!
