System transfer New 3ds

Yay! My New 3DS arrived! So I wanted to do a system transfer. On the New 3DS it tried to connect to the internet, and then came back with this error: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds/results.jsp?error_code=005-5602&system=3DS&locale=lang

Situation:

Unable to connect to the Nintendo eShop.

This is likely the result of your Nintendo 3DS region setting being incorrect.

Did any of you early adopters bump into this, or is these some extra hurdles something Nintendo threw up recently to discourage grey import?

I tried changing the region to Australia on both systems, but that didn't help either, as it didn't match the region in my Nintendo Network ID.

Damn you Nintendo!

Ahem... crisis averted... Seems like I had to log in to the eShop once on the new system before I could use the transfer tool.

The Pikmin are doing their work!
