Nintendo DS backward compatible with GBA games?

[Tyson8earzz]

Ive been trying to read thru the specs on the new upcoming Nintendo DS but imnot finding anywhere if its backward compatible with the old GBA games. Anyone else know?

It's compatible with all the old Game Boy Advance games. The only thing that won't work is the multiplayer linkup.

No, just Advance. Not original GB or GB Color games.

Straight from the linked Nintendo site:

Dual Slots: Nintendo DS makes a vast library of Game Boy® Advance games readily available. Developers could find ways to make new connections between GBA games and DS games. The GBA port could be used for new hardware, enormously expanding the functional expandability of the DS.
