The game is compatible through Download play on all versions of the DS Console. The 3DS has a DS Download Play (to play DS games trough local W-Fi) and 3DS Download Play (to play 3DS game through local Wi-Fi) so you don't need two copies.

WOW. I purchased this game for my nephew a while back. I believe this was for the regular DS game. It worked fine. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work on yours. You can also ask the seller if it will work on your DSi XL. Hope I've been of some help.

NO. This WILL NOT fit the New 3DS XL that released in Feb 2015. The NEW model has extra buttons, has the stylus and cartridge slot in different spots and is slightly bigger. I contacted the manufacturer and they responded saying there will be a new one for the NEW 3DS XL sometime around April 2015. No exact date though.

Yes, 3ds games can be played on 2ds just without the 3d features.http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/2ds

Yes they do work with DS games. In fact, I purchased them for our granddaughter just for that purpose. She us 10 and they fit her perfectly. She loves them.

These do not work for 3DS games, only DS games. The action replay software is compatible with a 3DS XL though, if you want to play normal DS games with your 3DS.

No! The 3DS game cartridge is totally different than the 2DS. A 3DS game will NOT fit into a 2DS system. You can play a 2DS game on a 3DS, but not the reverse.

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 will. Just an FYI all Nintendo DS games will work in your player as well as the 3DS games, just so you know for future reference.

I would think so. But I wouldn't know for sure, I only have an XL 3DS. But I don't see why it wouldn't be able to.

I believe it will work since the 3DS and 3DS games are region locked, but the DS games are not. Do a little research though to make sure because I could be wrong

No. 3DS is a completely different console with upgraded CPU and GPU. Any DS game will run on the 3DS but no 3DS game will run on the DS.

No. Only on a 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, or future systems. For DS Pokemon games, try Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White, Black 2, or White 2.

No it cant play them. Only plays DS, DSi, and 3DS games. But some games have been rereleased as a game for DS. Example the classic sonic the hedgehog games got released as "sonic classics" a DS tittle. "Namco museum DS" is another good DS game, it rereleases old arcade games like "galega" and " Pac-Man".

It works on all ds games. If you want something for 3ds games, get power save. But if it's regular ds games, get this.
