I was just wondering, why are they releasing the same game for 3DS and DS? DS games are already compatible with the 3DS so why would there be a need to release two versions?

Probably because people want 3D games for the 3DS. So instead of just making one, they are making both to keep everyone happy.

Which means they'll get more money because the 3DS is new and expensive, so not everyone will have it, meaning people who have the old-style DSes can still enjoy the new game, while people who bought the 3DS can enjoy it as well, without the less pixalation a DS game has.

Yea but the 3DS has horrible amounts of pixelation when playing DS games and The game was designed for the DS, which makes me irritated because now he game will most likely take longer to come out, just like with Zelda Twilight princess, it should have just came out on gamecube in the first place rather than both the wii and gamecube, we could have seen it two years sooner that way.

=| They don't really care about how long you want it to take, they care about how much money they can make.

You can play DS games on the 3DS without any pixelation. I do all the time. All you have to do is immediately after selecting the on the 3DS screen is hold down select and start (I've also heard that you only need to hold one, but I tend to hold both down). The game looks just fine after that.

what saruki said. They're just trying to make more money by selling to a wider audience. Plus it's a bit more fair.

Another reason I think they're making it for two systems is that not everyone that would want the game has a 3DS.

Because we're poor.

(or just cheap)

But yeah. I'm excited it's coming out for the regular DS that way I can get it and have fun with it. <3

Yes, that and also to probabl show that HM is eventually going to break off from the DS and to test the game in general in 3D but also to keep it on the traditional system for now.

I remember that was in nintendo power! I have actually never tried it though, none of the DS games I have played on the 3DS have been very pixelated.

Regardless of pixelation or no pixelation, even if the 3DS version has 3D effects, it will pretty much be the same game, for $10 more. Why would anyone want to buy it?
