The DSI is the same games and mostly the same but with more features to it. For example the camera, wifi, songs, recording. Also, a new feature is added in Pictochat if you click the pen twice. Last, the DSI is not able to play any gameboy games because it does not have the slot for it. Oh and if you dont know you can switch it for your DS for $70. And if you just buy it and not switch it, it's $170. - from previous respondent
Good information, but fails to answer the question.
You asked: "Will you be able to play DSi games on a DS?"
And the simple answer is: No, you will not.
DSi games will ONLY play on the DSi, not the DS Lite nor the original DS unit. If you do get DSi games to play on the DS Lite or original unit, consider yourself lucky, because they're not meant to.
Yes, you can play DS lite games on the DSi as well as the DSi XL
For the most part, yes you can. If you want to connect with pictochat or DS games (including DS Download), you can connect between a Nintendo DS and DSi. However, for DSi specific games, such as DSi games and certain applications, the Nintendo DS will not be able to connect. But, note that certain DSiWare games that can DS download play still can be connected to the Nintendo DS.
The Nintendo 3DS will be able to play Nintendo DS and DSi games but games published for the Nintendo 3DS will not be compatible with those systems.
Normally, you can play new DS games on old DS. But if the games says for DSi only, or for 3DS(will be pubulished soon) only,the it can not play on old DS.
Yes, the original Nintendo DS as well as the Nintendo DS lite can play NDSi games.

Nope. Sadly, you cannot because some of the games require a camera, the internet, etc. The DSi can play all Nintendo DS and DSL games, however.
