| − | + | A similar feature is offered by {{DnMe+}} that transfers data between {{DnM+|nolink}} and {{DnMe+}} if data for both games is present on either the same Nintendo GameCube Memory Card or two separate Memory Cards inserted in the same Nintendo GameCube. This will transfer the player's name, appearance, birthday, encyclopedia, catalogue, and on-hand designs, but will not transfer their inventory, house, letters, Able Sisters designs, or anything else.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nintendo|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gaej/moving/index.html|title=About moving|retrieved=August 30, 2020|language=Japanese}}</ref> Catalogued items appearing in {{DnM+|nolink}} but not {{DnMe+|nolink}} will not appear in the latter's catalogue upon transferring. This was the only way to catalogue {{I|Donkey Kong 3|PG}} and {{I|Punchout|PG}} aside from [[secret code]]s, for which the latter was never distributed; however, both games are not for sale from the catalogue in any case. | |
