So, a while back my 3ds got knackered somehow and won't come on, (it used to be freezing, now it freezes on a black screen) but that's of no consequence, as one way or the other I need to send it in to Big N, and I'm wondering, Is eshop purchaces now tied to account? As such would it be a wiser Idea to just upgrade to New3DS now, and bring my sd card from the previous one?
Simply transferring an SD Card will not be the solution. The accounts are tied to the serial numbers. Call Nintendo, they will be able to advise you better
yeah but the NNID is based on the system. you have to transfer it into a new system before you play the games. you can't simply sign into a new 3DS with your NNID while it`s still on your old system. That is what I meant by that statement.
Want: Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneering Town, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Finished the Alola Dex.
Now playing New Horizons, Wrath of White Witch and Sword
One way or the other, I contacted Big N today and they said if I sent my old system and a new one I bought, they'd transfer the data for free! So I'm happy.

Hope the micro sd card in the new 3DS is big enough to hold all your games & data etc. If not you'll need a bigger micro sd card.
Except that purchases are tied to your NNID. The only extra step required is that you have to call (the quite helpful) Nintendo tech support and get them to deactivate your old system and reactivate your new one.
Sure, it's not as painless as downloading a PS1 classic you bought on your PSP to your PS3 (except if you've reached the console-download limit. Heaven help you if that happens), but it won't take more than 20 minutes.

What console-download limit? There isn't any as far as I know. You can DL your games on PSN as many times as you want.
