Do you have to have a 3DS to play this game? Can it be played on the regular DS device?

This game will not work on the regular DS. It will only play on the 3DS or 2DS. (The 2 DS is the flat version that does not have a hinge.)

Is it really that hard to comprehend the obvious? I mean, let's excuse juicy bits like the 3DS logo on the side of the box, the title of the game HINTING at the "3" in 3DS, and/or the fact that the 3DS itself has been out for three years so far now. Yet, you're terribly ignorant of what hardware this game is compatible with? Ah, and research continues to remain underrated. Boy, when people ask incredibly STUPID questions like this, they really prove that there IS such a thing as a STUPID question.

Yes you can. Although you cannot play GBA games, and so with DS games that sometimes have the feature to connect to a GBA game and get goodies, like Harvest Moon DS or Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, you won't be able to do so. Otherwise, you can play the games just fine.

Yes it does. I have played Super Mario Bros. and Mario 64 (DS) on it. All that is different (besides no 3D) is that the top screen from the original DS was a different ratio so the DS games don't use the whole screen when played on the 3DS.

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

3DS games will only work on 3DS gaming system. You can play nintendo ds games on a 3DS gaming system but the way the game cartridge for the 3ds is shaped it won't fit into a ds gaming system. Sorry.

You can play it on the gameboy advance, gameboy advance SP, nintendo DS, or nintendo DS light

No it will not. The 3DS games have a notch on them that prevents them from being inserted into a "plain old ds player". Hope this helps..

They both need 3ds systems. To my knowledge 3ds/2ds systems are backward compatible but a Nintendo DS can't run a 3ds game.

It is! I own a 3DS XL. All Nintendo DS games are compatible with the 3DS. :)

Yes. I happen to have a copy of Chrono Trigger (North American version), and it plays fine on the 3DS (again North American version). The graphics will not be in 3D, but everything else works as usual.

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".

Yes it does. I still play all my Ace Attorneys and Prof. Layton games fro the Nintendo DS. So getting the 3DS or 3DS XL would be the next step up if you own a Nintendo DS already

All regular Nintendo DS games work Nintendo DSXL. With the newer 3DDS console it can use both all the older DS games and the 3D games.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I'm not sure what a "DSL 3d game" is, nor what a "Nintendo 3d system" is. All Nintendo DS games can be played on any 3DS system, and of course any 3DS game can also be played on any 3DS system, but I'm not sure if that answers your question or not.

Yeah, ds/dsi games can be played on the 3ds, but they won't be able to be played using the 3D feature, only in 2D, only 3DS games will be able to play using the 3D feature. Hope this helps

yes, you can play all the game in 2d if you want. in fact the game isn't all in 3d. so you can enjoy both 2d and 3d parts

No, it's a 3DS not a NDS and only the latter one can play Pokemon yellow :(
