Where does the save data go on the 3DS?
Save data can go on an SD card or the 3DS cartridge itself. It gives you an option when you go to save. While some Game Cards do save SpotPass and StreetPass information to the SD card or system memory, game progress (levels completed, items collected, etc.) is saved to the Nintendo 3DS Game Card.
Can you save game progress on Nintendo Switch?

Can you play old games on New 3DS?
If you were to tranfer the digital game over, then put the SD card from the old 3ds in, then you can play your old copy on your new 3ds with the same data, since it was a digital copy. And no, you can’t have your eShop account tied to both systems. You’ll have to pick one and perform a System Transfer if needed.
