If my son gets this game &amp; 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.

No, this game can only be played on systems from the Nintendo 3DS family (meaning the 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS).

Each system requires its own copy of the game to play multiplayer, if you plan to get two copies, then one of you should get pokemon Y and the other one should get Pokemon X so you can complement each other with the things your version lacks.

I bought both the Explorer and LeapPad for my 3 and 5 year olds for Christmas. I bought a couple of game cartridges as well as app cards. How do you install the apps in both? I was told at TRU that you could only install an app on one device. Good to know that he was wrong.

Yes, but action replays for the ds won't. U have to get one specific for the 3ds, but normal ds games work just fine.

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.

You can make the kids share a game, but I don't think they'll be very happy with you. Each copy of the game only has one save file on it, meaning only one person can make a seperate game. I'd say you either chip in and buy the three copies of the game, get them used for a lower price, or have the kids fight over which miis get to have certain outfits. Your choice.

These do not work for 3DS games, only DS games. The action replay software is compatible with a 3DS XL though, if you want to play normal DS games with your 3DS.

When you buy a game you can only play it when the game cartridge is in the leap pad, so yes, if you bought it, they could take turns playing it. But they would not be able to both play it at the same time.

I am 90% certain that it can not be played with a regular DS, as the way the game is programmed is specific for the things the 3DS does/can do. I'm unavailable to test this as of right now, though. :/

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!

You have 2 CPU companions that help you when you are playing single player, but they are just small NPC characters. The actual party of four is only with other players (wireless only on the 3DS). If you can get a friend or three together however, it's a hell of a time.

Nope, As far as I know different systems. I sold my old X-box and the games. The New X-Box coming out this year should play the current X-box games, but all of the new games will be on line. End of the X-Box line in my house I'm afraid.

I believe 3ds games have a bump in the cartridge that makes them incompatible with dsi or other previous generation handhelds, so no.

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

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.

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.)
