Since the 3DS was discontinued, you’re probably wondering how you can play your old games. Fortunately, Nintendo made 3DS games compatible with other Nintendo consoles, including Nintendo 3DS XL, 2DS, and the 2DS XL. If you don't have one of those consoles handy, you can download the UWP Streamer app onto an Xbox One and use it to stream 3DS games over Wi-Fi. We'll show you how to play your favorite Nintendo 3DS games on other compatible consoles.
