Can you play DS games online on the 3DS?

I was wondering. Games like Mario Kart DS and the Pokemon games had an online function built into the game. Can these features still be used if played on the 3DS?

I want to get a 3DS when the price drop hits and was wondering if this was possible.

yes, absolutely! For instance I play UMK (Ultimate Mortal Kombat) and it works fine, even with higher resolution for some reason.

But a word: I lost all my rankings because the cartlidge wants you to play on one console. So if your prepared to loose all your records, its nothing to worry about.

Yes. BUT...security is about as secure as using a paper bag for a condom. .DJ_Lae

But surely a game as good as Mario Kart DS is worth the risk, no?

I have a way to play WEP games on a WPA/WPA-2 secure network. It's in my blog and has helped many. It does require AOSS enabled routers though. ^^

Yes. BUT, like the DSi (and as yobrandino mentions), you're stuck with the old DS settings which require you to use WEP security, which is unfortunate as WEP security is about as secure as using a paper bag for a condom. It makes a lot of the earlier internet connectivity stuff a pain in the ass, as you either have to run a nearly unsecure network or constantly swap it back and forth whenever you want to play DS games online. I was pleasantly surprised with Pokemon Black, though, as it is capable of connecting via WPA/WPA2.DJ_Lae

Eh, WEP isn't that bad if its just a home connection. The average person wouldn't be able to figure out how to find your password.

I use WEP and haven't had any unusual activity on my network.

I may just be paranoid as I'm in an apartment building with another right across the street - I can access nearly two dozen wireless connections from where I am. There are probably plenty of people who know how to cracka WEP network if they want.

I've been tempted to do it myself and then change people's network names to clue them into using WPA.
