Can you play the Tomodachi Life on a regular Nintendo DS?

Nope, its for Nintendo 3DS and 2DS. It won't work on the older Nintendo DS or DS Lite.

You can't unfortunately. The 3DS cartridge has a little notch that prevents it from fitting into older systems
829158
no, but if yor ds isn't region locked, there's an older version that was only released in japan simply called "tomodachi collection" I've played it on emulators. it's pretty much the same thing only this version has a lot more features.

GameCube VS Wii right here. Tomodachi Life is a 3DS game, which is not compatible with the Nintendo DS. Sorry, you'll have to upgrade to the current system if you want to play it. There's also a Japanese only version called Tomodachi Collection for the original DS, just make sure yours isn't region locked or it won't run either.

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

You should be able too, since the 3DS is programmed with all regions since you can change the language to the region in question. After doing some research myself, you can play all DS games cross region, and that only DSi enhanced games such as Black and White version two are region locked. But don't just listen to my opinion, try doing some more research to see FOR SURE you can, since mine was only preliminary research, not thorough.

Yes, the Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS can play 3D games. The regular DS or DSi cannot play 3D games, however.

Yes, it works on my 3ds and since the 2ds plays both 3ds and D's games it will work.

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

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 will not work on a regular Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS XL, it only works on Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, or the Nintendo 2DS systems.

I use the 3ds only for which this game was designed. My guess is it will not.

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*.

No the 3ds takes the smaller disk. The regular gameboy games are to small. Jenny McAllister

If you are asking about the number of games there is a lot if you want to use the old DSI games they can be played on the 3d DSI but 3d games can not be played on the DSI. Our family has both. We have 3 my grandson and I have the old DSI but my husband has the 3rd. I like the DSI not so much the 3d only because the screen is small. I have bought used games on Amazon and Have not had a problem

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, but if you already have a DS (dual switch) it won't change anything. I bought mine to convert to a dual switch and it works great.

Sorry, I can not really answer that as I bought it thinking it would fit ds games and it does not.

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..

Yes. In addition to 3DS games, the 3DS XL plays regular DS games, as well as games downloaded from the Nintendo eShop service. All of these games can be played with the 3D effect turned off - you just move the 3D slider all the way to the off position. However, only 3DS games and some eShop games (not all) make use of the 3D, and will still display in 2D even if the slider is turned all the way up. It also bears mention that, unlike the regular Nintendo DS and DS Lite, the 3DS does not play Game Boy Advance games (except of course those that can be downloaded using the eShop service).
