    I think the above is saying they made the 3ds game carts a different shape so you couldn't fit the 3ds carts in a DS. But you could fit a DS cart in a 3ds.

      Same with Gameboy -> Gameboy Color, and Gameboy + Gameboy Color -> Gameboy Advanced. Nintendo has a better history than most of supporting backwards compatibility

      Yeah, that's where I was going with it. Thought about breaking it into two separate sentences. But in my head it seemed weird to state "hardware upgrade and cartridge shape" separately. Probably should've thought for clarity.
