Which Nintendo are you referring to? I would have to research it. The last system my kids had was the Nintendo DS and the game cartridges was compatible backwards. Let me check with my son to see if he knows since one of my grandson has the Nintendo 2DS. I will post an update as soon as I find out.
Game Boy Color Games will work on Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP systems. They will not work on the DS, DS Lite, or DSi. Game Boy Advance Games will work on Game Boy Micro, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, DS, and DS Lite Systems. They will not work on the DSi, DSi XL, or the 3DS.
