    I see them pulling a DS to 3DS jump. Better hardware and the cartridge is different shaped to prevent the games being played on the DS. Just in switch form this go around.

      I’d love to upgrade the hardware but if I can’t play my cartridges and downloaded games without repurchasing I won’t anytime soon.

        I think the above is saying they made the 3ds game carts a different shape so you couldn’t fit the 3ds carts in a DS. But you could fit a DS cart in a 3ds.

          Same with Gameboy -> Gameboy Color, and Gameboy + Gameboy Color -> Gameboy Advanced. Nintendo has a better history than most of supporting backwards compatibility
