Question
The top slot of my Nintendo DS does not work so I'm going to go buy games for slot 2 my question is that does the games for slot 2 work the same as the games for slot 1. Are the games for slot 2 also touch screen. Thank you expert.


Answer
Hi Mary

In a standard Nintendo DS, the top slot plays DS games and the lower slot plays Game Boy Advance games. GBA games are less advanced than DS games, and usually a few years older. They only use one screen of the two screens, and are not touch screen compatible. Games older than Game Boy Advance games won't work in your DS.
