How's your experience in playing DS games on 3DS XL?

Is it better than on DS? The reason I'm asking is that I can't find many interesting 3DS games, but there are many good DS games out there. Please let me know how you feel, thanks!

I dislike the 3DS controls while playing DS games. The D-PAD sucks compared to the DS Lite

i thought about that too before buying my 3DS XL and i it was the best decision to buy that thing, who can refuse to a bigger screen? not me

the 3DS XL buttons stick better to your fingers so its easier to play, with the original 3DS my fingers began to slip after being playing for some time

as for the resolution, well the screen is bigger but the res is not betetr so you end seeing some razor edges but thats all, a bigger screen its always better

PD: the speakers really suck on the 3DS XL so get a pair of earphones

I do find myself using my Ds lite, but its not for reasons anyone has rbought up yet. My XL has become my home system. And I use my lite on the go. MUCH better battery life and size. I am frequently on the go so I grab my lite over my XL for the convienice factor.

I don't mind it at all. The visual quality may not be the same as the ds but it's a good experience. You really have to nit pick it to make yourslef not like it.

3DSXL is much better for the DS games than the regular 3DS.... bigger screen that looks much less "grainy" less blurry..

and the dpad is much more comfortable to use.

How about gba games? Are the graphics streched out on the 3DS XL?

sadly, you cant play gba games on the 3ds

If I comprare the 3 devices I have, it looks like this:

3DS XL > DS lite >>>>>> 3DS original

So there's no gba games on the nintendo store? :( I was looking forward to it that's why I want to buy a 3DS.

Presumably there will be. Ambassadors (people who bought the 3DS for $250) got a few GBA games for free. They look pretty good on my 3DS.

They have said specifically that they have no plans to release the GBA ambassador games to the general public. I have no idea if that means they really won't of they just don't wanna say when. I am hoping those and much, much more will be released personally but who can say?

As far as DS games on XL. They look awesome to me and if you are a real stickler the native resolution mode is now about the same size as an original DS screen. Controlls are more comfortable for me too, esp. the d-dpad. I actually got an original 3DS before I ever had a DS but played some DS games on it. After hearing people here complain about how bad DS games looked on 3DS, I went ahead and bought a DS too. Now, I don't regret buying my DS for any reason but from my standpoint, the games really don't look any better on it at all when you are actually playing them.

The only thing a DS has on the XL, in my opinion, is battery life. The battery life on those things is ridiculous!

Oh darn. I was hoping I could use a 3DS to play gba games. :(
