Gaming DS Games on the 3DS

[hunter291]

Every DS Game can be run on the 3ds, right ? If it isn't dsi exclusive, it should run. Because I wanted to buy Pokemon Typing, and I want to be 100% sure that it runs on my European 3ds. One seller on ebay says that it only runs on a japanese 3ds, but it should run on all 3ds consoles, right ?

Most games work. Except the one that need the GBA slot.
Pokemon Typing works on the DSi XL so it should work with the 3DS.

u will also have to check which cart u are using. Make sure it works for that cart such as DSTWO or R4 (they both have good compatibility as u know)

It is said the 3DS is region locked. I had interpreted that to mean just 3DS games, but it might mean DSi enchanced games and DS games as well.

Also, because the 3DS's resolution is just less than double that of the regular DS, it looks like it is streched to be smaller, when really not. This may bother some people/

Also, DSi-Exclusive games WILL work on the 3DS.
