Just seen that there's a new Pilot Wings game coming out on the Nintendo 3DS Pilot Wings Resort and wondered are the game compatible with the Ds-Lite or will i have to buy the 3DS

Need to buy a 3DS, the 3DS is a new set of hardware.

Cheers for the info so it looks like i will have to start saving, also wondered why has the N64 version of Pilotwings never turned up on the Wii as it was the reason i got a N64 back in the day

Unfortunately it sounds like a lite version.

They really shouldn't have named the 3DS after it's predecessors. I wonder how many people are going to think it's just a DS with 3D.

GOt it for a tenner so don't mind, building my back catalogue of DS games though till Paper Mario and Zelda time.

I like to think of it as the 3rd DS.

But it's the 2nd proper internal revision.

Yes I know.

Edit - To clarify, I just think of it like DS Phat > DS lite (dsi, ds xl) > 3DS.

3rd actually.

1) DS & DS Lite
2) DSi & DSi XL (More CPU and RAM)
3) 3DS

I don't see a problem, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance. They're all brand different yet the kept the name.

I think it helps the Brand if they keep the name as long as their is no major difference ie Quad screen

Game sounds a bit pants tbh, we've already flown around that crappy little island once in Resort, it wasn't that special :confused:

Nope, second. A slightly higher clocking machine that plays idendical games (the key differentiator, as opposed to minor OS tweaks) is still the same machine.
