Nintendo 3DS games can be played with a Nintendo 3DS, a 3DS XL (bigger screens) or a Nintendo 2DS (same technical "guts" as the 3DS, but no 3D capabilities and it doesn't fold in half). This game will NOT play on any of the "original" DS systems (the ones without a number preceding "DS").

No. This game works on a 2DS and 3DS. From my understanding you can play older games on the new consoles but not the other way around.

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.

You do not need to purchase another Mario Kart DS ... simply play it in the DSi and go to multiplayer on your 3DS and should be prety simple from there.

It depends on where you order it. A North American version may not work on an Australian 3DS due to the region locking on the handheld. I recommend further research on the matter.

Yes, you can play any game with or without the 3D effect, and all the older DS games, and since this is the XL version of the 3DS the DS games are larger too!

Of course! The 3DS XL is just a different 3DS model, not an entirely different game system

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.

I bought this as a gift for a family member, but what I've heard about 3ds games, they must be played on the 3ds system. I wish I could be of more help.

i'm not an expert in DS's but I'm in Australia and it wasn't compatible with my son's 3DS XL. Only works for USA consoles.

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).

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..

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 can be played on the 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS. It can not be played on any earlier systems, including any DS or DSi.

Yes it's works for 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS. I bought this game for 3DS, but I know that it works for 3DS XL and 2DS.

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