The 2ds xl will play games from the original DS, 3DS, and 2DS. The 3DS just won't be in 3d.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All Nintendo DS games are compatible between the 2DS, 2DSXL, 3DS, and 3DSXL. If a game is 2D however, it won't have 3D graphics on the 3DS systems. If a game is 3D, it will only show 2D graphics on a 2DS. In my opinion, if he's upgrading from a 2DS, you'd be best served to upgrades to the 3DSXL. The 3DSXL plays compatible 3D games in 3D without the need for glasses (which is really neat, being able to see 3D without the glasses they'd use for 3D movies) and still will play all his older games just fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think it’s worth it & to my knowledge you can play your old games with your new one. We still have our 2ds & our boy loves it. I guess it’s a personal preference in the end.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 3DS will play 2DS games. As far as being worth it, the main advantage is newer games available, but the higher performance hardware is a good upgrade as well.
