I'm thinking about getting rid of my DS if I get a 3DS, but I wanted to first make sure that the 3DS is fully backwards compatible. Does anyone know?

No GBA games also means no multi-slot functionality (which I think is only important for Pokemon).

the 3DS doesn't have an alarm clock function
GBA games doesn't count because nintendo handhelds have always gone back only one generation. Plus they wouldn't be able to sell them as Virtual Console games if they had one -- http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3824/5959429725f9ecccb086.jpg http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png ...

From: the icon ownz all | #005 This is the big one for me. Was planning to sell my DS Lite after getting my 3DS, but after trying both display modes and finding they both suck, I opted to just keep my DS Lite and play old games with that. -- Falcon Punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw ...

I found the resolution of DS games is fine for 3D games, but for 2D games yeah there's no way of masking it.

Is there something preventing 3DSes from playing Devil Survivor or are you saying you want Devil Survival Overclocked in the most obscure way possible?

I have my old GBA that I sometimes use for GBA games, but the resolution thing is probably a deal breaker. Oh well, looks like I will keep my old fat DS

From: the icon ownz all | #011 I think he's saying his european/australian 3DS can't play the american Devil Survivor. And if that's true I'm really happy I didn't trade in my DS for a 3DS. -- DON~! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well, I played through the European version of The Last Window on my US 3DS, so regular DS games still shouldn't have region locking on the 3DS. DSi and 3DS games do, though.

Oh, is Atlus not putting it out in Europe? That sucks. Region locking is lame.

Atlus never publishes games in Europe! it's always handled by another publisher, so we only get the really big Atlus stuff like persona and catherine.
