I certainly see alot of US imports for DS games on ebay that say NOT compatible with DSi XL or 3DS, so im guessing they went region locked after the lite. |
3DS games are region locked, DS ones are not. I have a U.K 3DS and have a collection of U.K and US DS games, I can play my entire DS catalogue on my 3DS. I just can't play Japanese or US 3DS games on my European 3DS.
Most games which say 'compatible only with DS and DS lite' are pirate copies, that won't play on newer DS models
