Is the 3DS an American DS, or otherwise? Thanks~

The one I received is an American DS, although to be fair, half the buttons are broken, and the system is almost unplayable. I would be very careful about who you purchase from.

Well my other daughter has a DS XL and she can NOT play this as it is for the 3DS only but u can play it in 2D format on the 3ds..weird.

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

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. 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).

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

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").

Yes, its reverse compatible. And yeah, I didn't try it myself, but I assume little if anything would change if you toggled the 3d on in a DS game.

Depends on your country because I believe some 3ds games are region locked. If you're in the us though, it will work. I'm in the us and mine works perfectly

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!

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

Dear Yue, Thank you for your question. The system version of this 3ds is 5.0.0-11J. Feel free to ask anything question if you have. Sincerely,

Honestly, I'm not sure if dsi can play with a 3ds :/ but if it can I would first try it through one cartridge via the "download"play which js how you access multiplayer with one cartrige. If you are able to play with dsi and 3Ds then I would assume if you want to use all courses and characters you'd have to have another catridge. I'm not sure if you can do multiplayer with dsi and 3Ds :/ if you can let me know, that would be interesting.

Thank you so much. I was looking at a ds also. But you just made up my mind, so thank you!

Yes, you can play DS games from Germany on a US Nintento DS and vice versa because the Nintendo DS is region free so you can play any games from any region on your console. You can set the language when you set up your DS.

I just saw this game showcased at Target, and it claims there that it will play on a regular DS, only not in 3d (the picture will be flat).Update: I asked at the store, and they said it will only play on 3DS in 3d, and 2DS in 2d (regular picture), but not DS.
