Can a regular Nintendo DS play DS Lite games?

Question

We are getting our son the old DS for his birthday (he will only be 5 and I don't want to spend a lot of money on something he may end up breaking). Will I be able to buy DS Lite games for it, or will I end up searching the internet for old DS games? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

there is no difference between a ds and ds lite except the look and a couple diferent features there is no difference in the games

Answer 2

you can play any ds game on any ds

Answer 3

Yes 99.99% of DS Lite games work on the original DS. The only one that I know of that doesn't work with the DS Orignal is the the DS Opra Browser. Which is only available on the Internet and not in local United State Stores.  

Answer 4

a ds lite is a redisigned version of a regular ds. It isnt a different console entirely, so it doesnt have different games. Simply,yes it can play.

Answer 5

Yes. But I would still get the DS Lite. It may be $50 more. But it last longer. And has a couple more features. The DS Lite is harder to break by the way lol. Old DS you can see the hinges and take those off.

Answer 6

Yes, you can play DS games on either the DS or the DS Lite.  There is no such thing as a DS Lite game.  They're all DS games.

Answer 7

ds lie is just a slimmer version of the ds, all the games are just ds games there are no ds lite only games

Answer 8

They are all Nintendo DS games, there is no such thing as a Nintendo DS Lite game, all the DS games will work on every version of the DS.

Answer 9

yes  there is no physical difference between the DS games

i have an old  DS  and can  play  any  DS game i choose to do

like somebody else said there are no  DS games specifically made for the lite
