I lost my original 3DS and I was going to get a new one eventually. Is there anyway to force unlink it online or via any other methods? I just want to be able to link it to the new system.

Because the 3ds system has no tracking software by default. It cant be located like a smartphone with buildin GPS.
If you have the serialnumber from the back of the 3ds give it to nintendo. Maybe there is a chance to get it back, then.

Contact Nintendo Support, tell them about your situation.
How do I do it in my country where nintendo support literally doesn't exist (well, it does, but it only goes to 1 person which never responds to my emails)? I tried setting my account to USA but the support reps have recently have starting asking for country of residence.

The direct contact options are mostly hidden. If u dont get maybe check here Nintendo USA Contact

Write to the main residence of Nintendo or the next big one and descripe this situation. Try to write like a business man. You already tryed different times to contact the local nintendo support. Put your sent Email as attachment and how often and the dates when you sent the email.
Normaly you get a immediatly created automatic answer, where is maybe for sure a casenumber. Write that also in and that you did not get a support contact since x days.

Nah, it's literally someone's personal email. No case number, no nothing.

Not for 3DS/Wii U that use NNID I believe, only for switch only. In his case I think he would have to call and get them to unlink if he can proof to them games that he purchase if he has any, it is like transferring NNID off a broken system.
Only if he lives in the USA. You DO know how extremely expensive international calls are, right?

    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

    FNF was born from Game Jams
