does dsi xl have a slot for the gameboy nintendo games? If no, how can you get games for this one?
@efoputy1000
Yeah it’s exciting. I have a new blog about it here http://www.nintendo3ds.org.uk
i want to get the new dsi xl but can you do everything on xl as dsi i heard that when the dsi lite came out u could not play all your games also what is GBA im new to all this
@smiley
They probably made a version of it that fits the DS card (slot 1).
i bought a dsi xl from the usa. and living in uk, will uk or eu charger work ok on the dsi xl?
@brenda
The DSi XL can do everything the DSi does. GBA is Gameboy Advance, so the DSi can’t play Gameboy Advance games.
Can you battle your friend(in pokemon) using DSi XL if your friend is using DS Heavy or Lite
what is the camera quality like and dose it have a game slot?
@Paul
Yes you can, the DSi XL uses the same wireless technology than the DS lite except it can go on internet.
@Paul yes you can i have a DS lite

The ds lite can still go on the internet and also can the ds fat there is this game you buy it is called nintendo ds browser you setup your own account and set up the internet connection the only things different from the ds fat and ds lite to the dsi and dsi xl are they have smalller screens, no cameras, no dsi shop, no built in games and no built in internet
