Yes, this is possible after you perform a system update on your Nintendo 3DS system.

To transfer your Nintendo DSiWare software to your Nintendo 3DS, you will need an Internet connection and your original Nintendo DSi Shop account will have to be intact. You will need access to both your original Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system as well as the new Nintendo 3DS system.

Important: When transferring to a Nintendo 3DS system, all save data from any Nintendo DSiWare will be deleted. Once you have transferred Nintendo DSiWare from a Nintendo DSi system to a Nintendo 3DS system, you will not be able to move it back.

Please note that, as well as your Nintendo DSiWare titles, the system transfer will allow you to transfer Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection settings and data such as photos and sound recordings. When you transfer your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection settings and photos and recordings, any such data already on your Nintendo 3DS system will be overwritten. If you wish to keep photos and recordings already on your Nintendo 3DS system, please move them to an SD Card before you begin the transfer.
