All DS games are compatible with any DS system so as long as you have one of them you are good to go. This isn't anything new guys; companies have been coming out new versions of their systems for...ever. What the new DSi is bringing is a vastly improved handheld compared to the original model which is damn near obsolete.

Actually, newer models come out with more RAM. I've noticed some of the newer games have a lot of slowdown on my lite, which could be due to them designing it for the DSi. Not to mention, the DSi has DSi specific games through download, which older versions can not get. I believe there is a RAM addon that you can throw into slot 2 for the lite, but why would I bother having a big chunk sticking out the bottom..
All this is, is bringing out a "half-release" rather than a "new handheld release". They are forcing consumers to get the latest if they want to enjoy more games -
even though they've already paid for one handheld to do this. Upgrade and enjoy the new DSi-ware (and more than likely newer games coming out to maximize the RAM potential) is all they are doing. Shrug. Just like Sony with the PSPGo. Getting rid of UMDs and making them worthless, and making all games download-only (which is so far preventing piracy very well). So basically, the new system is worthless for the people that have already bought tons of games.
Hence the reason that I don't buy handheld games unless I think the developer deserves it.
