    Is it reasonable to expect Nintendo's next handheld to be backwards compatible with the DS and 3ds cartridges?

      Editing … I'd expect 3DS ones to work, unless the hardware is drastically different. Nintendo are usually pretty good with backwards compatibility.

      Editing … I expect it'll at least play 3DS games and hopefully DS games too, not sure whether it'll still offer the 3d though.

      Editing … Nintendo's next handheld should be backwards compatible with GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL cartridges. This isn't going to happen though because Nintendo likes to make money via digital downloads.

      Editing … It wouldn't happen because it'd be silly. Most people these days don't have gameboy carterages lying around their house, so they'd be making the system more expensive and more convoluted for no reason.

      Editing … DS was GBA retro-compatible only. 3DS was DS retro-compatible only. It seems plausible that the next handheld will be 3DS retro-compatible only. But, it's also plausible that their next handheld and their next home console will be the same console. In this case, it's different
