I know it will have backwards compatibility, but will everyone have to buy a 3DS in order to play new games?, I just bought a DSi this Christmas so i'm hopping that i don't have to waste my money again.
I really didn't understand this post.iYoshi- said:Are you serious mang? Dude when has there ever been a game compat iwth another system?Well maybe nintendo will make their new console games compat with older consoles
you're talking about the GB/GBC stuff.wabsta said:I really didn't understand this post.iYoshi- said:Are you serious mang? Dude when has there ever been a game compat iwth another system?Well maybe nintendo will make their new console games compat with older consoles
W/e, there were some gameboy color games, that were color on the gbc, but green and more green on the normal gameboy, so yea, I think there is a chance for the first few games to be compatible with the DS we have now.
Unless there some games that can get 3d enhance , so some of those games would lose the 3d and any other features lost from hardware limitations on the dsi/ds.xcdjy said:I love how this forum has become a breeding ground for arrogant noobs.
In answer to your question, gamerjr, although there is no confirmation at the moment, we're 99% sure that you need a 3DS to play 3DS games. It would be like trying to play a DS game on a GBA. The 3DS is a successor to the DS franchise, not another revision.

that's what we have now with DSi enhanced.
they only do that with minor upgrades of consoles(DS to DSi)
3DS will be a major upgrade(such as GBC to GBA) there will be most likely such a difference in power between the DSi and 3DS that they can't just make 3ds games work on DSi.
ever seen a GBA game that ran on a GBC?
Arwen20 said:From what I have read this appears to be an entirely new handheld that offers bc with the DS and DSi games. Because of this, I don't think 3ds games will be playable on a DS or DSi.
wow does this mean we will be able to travel in time with games? LOLCyan said:He is right, 3DS games will also work on the followed next gen (4DS ! lol), hence the backward compatibility Nintendo likes so much.
Noob used stupid questionxcdjy said:DJ91990 said:Short answer: 3DS Games are compatible with ONLY the 3DS (Or Future 3DS Models, 3DS Mini, 3DS MEGA, SUPAH 3DS, etc.)
Long Answer: Wow, what a dumb [DUCK HUNT!!] you must be to think that a gaming console that IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONSOLE will have it's games be compatible with ANOTHER CONSOLE! That's like saying if PSOne Disks are Compatible with N64 Systems or Sega Genesis games are compatible with the Gameboy! Wow, you must know nothing about how video games and systems work!

YES YOU NEED A 3DS TO PLAY 3DS GAMES!
