If my son gets this game & a 3D-XL for Xmas, but the other has only a regular DS-XL, can they still play together? or do both need 3DS players?

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

Not only would each person require a 3DS system, but they would also need to have their own copy of the game to play together.

He would need the game as well as the 3DS player, unfortunately. This is what my son tells me who is very familiar with gaming. So 2 games and 2 3DS players.

This game is Only playable with either the 3ds or 2ds (2ds is the 3ds without 3d capabilities). This game is not playble on last generation nintendo ds system.

It doesn't work because they are configured differently. The region you assign your 3DS is the region it works in. From my understanding if you moved to another region, you would have to purchase another console. I know of many people who are angry about this. The same issues happen with DVDs.

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.

This gaming system can play DS games as well as 3DS games. All DS games should work in this system.

There is a "share" function between all DS' but it requires the DS without the game to download it from the other and for the desired game to allow "Download play". You should also probably note that the shared version of the game isn't actually the full game and only allows limited content for the downloader; although the game is downloaded it is also required that the two DS' stay within a close enough range to hold the wireless signal.If it's a single player game you'll most likely have to buy 2 but if it's a game like Mario kart or multiplayer centered you could probably do fine just buying one and require the kids to be civil about who gets the full content or share.

It works great on the XL 3Ds, its a little loose on the regular 3DS.FYI: There are no cheat codes for 3DS games...YET! You can use this for your DS games that you play on your 3Ds console.

Can both my son & daughter play a 2-person game (at the same time) on the same computer? If so, what do I need to do to make this happen?

Thanks Andrea! I was afraid to purchase it if it didn't bc i'd waste all the games we owned for the original so thanks for the reply =D

Does this still work as good if you do not have a 3D TV? I want all the other features and have not found them on a player besides this one...any suggestions?

Hi, if your mii that you built is a boy there should be no problems playing as a boy. I am pretty sure you can build a boy too, it has been awhile since I built mine. A fun game for sure, have fun with it

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

Yes. It is the exact same product from Nintendo as the ones seen in store. Just be sure you are getting the color you want, which will be labeled in the description. The color scheme (ex. red/black) means the lid or top of the DS is red and the bottom portion is black. The lower portion on all 3DS XL's are black unless it is a special edition which it would specify. Hope this answer helps. I love my 3DS XL. Worth the purchase.

I'm having the same problem! I am so sick and tired of the fighting over the ds but I'm not buying him a ds lol. We have an older gameboy advance and he won't play that so I not sure about getting the leapster, scared of wasting my money if he won't use it! Did you buy your little one the leapster if so does he enjoy it? I'm trying to figure out if I should get the leapster for my son for his 3rd birthday which is in a few weeks.

I bought this for my nine year old son. He asked for this particular game. He does not have the 1 or 2 versions. He loves it and plays it a lot. I don't believe you need the other two to enjoy this game. We got a used version, it is fine and was half the price.

Sorry man, this is a USA model and so far all 3DS consoles are still regional-blocked which means you can only play games that belong to the console version you've purchased. So you can't play Japanese games on a USA vesion 3DS.
