Can you play Nintendo 3DS games on a Nintendo Lite?
The new 3DS is coming soon and i wanted to know if you could play 3DS games on older consoles like Ninetndo DSi and Nintendo Lite. Or do i really need to buy the new 3DS just to be able to play the 3DS games. (Of course, i know that i won't see the 3D version of the game)

I'm assuming you can. You just can't get the cool 3-D effect.

No you cannot, 3DS games have a tab that prevents you from inserting it into a DS.

The file types are likely different as well.
