Can This replace my DS lite? Will I still be able to play my original DS games?

Yes, but I'd recommend an XL model with its 90% larger screens and better build quality. (EDIT: The XL is also backwards compatible...realized that might not be clear from my post!)

It's fairly easy to replace the sticks. You really only have to be careful with the two ribbon cables you have to disconnect. It can be a little tricky lining up the touch pad ribbon back into its connector. So, I'd test the controller with a game before reassembling it completely, because your buttons won't work while playing if the touch pad ribbon isn't aligned properly. It only took me somewhere around 10 minutes or so to install the new sticks.

The games from a DS do not work with this game. I don't know where you would buy cartridges for it.

Yes, all 3DS games work on all forms of the 3DS and 2DS. However they do not work on the DS, DS lite, and DSi

No. This game works on a 2DS and 3DS. From my understanding you can play older games on the new consoles but not the other way around.

Yes, its reverse compatible. And yeah, I didn't try it myself, but I assume little if anything would change if you toggled the 3d on in a DS game.

Yes, I can still play english games on this handheld. Only thing i noticed that was different was the controls on the main menu are different ( like to enter the game). Awesome looking system though. Would recommend getting a clear case to protect the system.

Yes, all DS games are compatible with the 3DS, but DS games wont be 3D. I use this game on my 3DS

I believe you can. I never heard of that game, but I have games from Amazon that I've bought, and they work perfectly fine. :)

Per nintendo.com......Almost all existing Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games can be played on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in 2D. With backwards compatibility, your existing portable games look and play just as well*.

Yes, it works with anything with a gba slot (original, sp and micro even) I would check for use on ds but it should be the same, last time it worked for me.

Of course! The 3DS XL is just a different 3DS model, not an entirely different game system

We used it in a DSI and know nothing about the XL system. I would call game stop or Nintendo to get correct info, sorry I could not be of more help.

It will for sure, but for future reference, it will not be compatable with 3ds or dsi enhancement games from other regions. Fortunately though, any plain ds game is fair game.

Yes it still plays noraml ds games, with no differences in gameplay other than the lack of formentioned 3d effect

yes, on a 2DS it should work fine; it won't work on any DS, DSi, or any DS colsole before the original 3DS.

Yes. WiiU has backward compatibility so that you can play your old Wii games. Just have your remote, speakers up, and let the scary fun times begin lol
