Well, if DS games are compatible with both the original ad DS lite, I would think they'd be compatible with this, too. And the DS lite didn't have any format-exclusive games... they were all just for the DS, not "DS lite" or "DS original." But the camera functionality probably wouldn't be there (but then, Chupperson already said that, didn't he?). I personally will be sticking with my DS lite. I need the GBA slot to Pal Park Pokemon (try saying that ten times fast), and I can't justify having two versions of the same system.
