DSi-Enhanced Games:
* DSi Ware: These are digital games specifically designed for the DSi and its successors (DSi XL, 3DS, 2DS). They can only be played on DSi or later consoles.
* DSi Features: Some DS games were updated to include DSi features like the DSi Shop, the DSi Sound, or the DSi Camera. These features will not work on the DS Lite.
* Improved Graphics: Some games take advantage of the DSi's slightly more powerful hardware, resulting in improved graphics.
DS Lite Games:
* Not DSi-Enhanced: These games do not utilize any DSi-specific features and will run on both DS Lite and DSi consoles.
* No DSi Features: They will not have access to the DSi Shop, DSi Sound, or DSi Camera.
* Same Graphics: The graphics will be the same as they were on the original DS Lite.
In short:
* Most DS Lite games will work on a DSi.
* Some DSi games are exclusive to the DSi and later consoles.
* DSi games might have improved features or graphics that are not available on the DS Lite.
If you're unsure if a specific game will work on both consoles, you can check the game's description on the Nintendo website or on a trusted retailer.
