It has DS backwards combatibility, but yeah, no GBA backwards compatibility. There is a rumor that GB and GBC (and GBA and Game Gear?) games may eventually be sold in a Handheld Virtual Console, though.
It is pretty annoying and I'm definitely unhappy about it, because the system could run GBA games just fine if it had the cart slot, but no. :(
The major thing that's exclusive so far is the downloadable titles; Nintendo and other developers are making some, and they're all DSi only. As for retail titles, they're sure to come eventually, but none have been announced yet.

Quote:Until major titles are no longer developed for the original DS, I see no reason to own a DSi, but from the way you're talking, that may happen. Until then, I'm content with my limited edition golden Triforce DS. (Yes, I just have to brag.)
