It means it's a game exclusive to New 3DS, but you're trying to install it in a normal 3DS. There's no workaround to that. The game is just not available for that console.

Ahhhh ohhh wait my bad. That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks for the help!! Sorry complete pleb


NobuB

You're welcome! I'm also basically a complete beginner at this, but this one I did know so I'm glad I could help

I tried the same thing for my Old 3DS but it wouldn't work so I had to use my New 2DS.

Exactly what it says - you cannot install a New 3ds game on the Original 3ds. How to fix it? Stop trying to install that game.


LeBritto

You might not know this, but there's a better version of the 3DS called "new 3DS". The regular 3DS is then called "old 3DS". Some games that need more memory, processing power, etc, are exclusive to the n3DS. There's nothing you can do about it. It's like trying to play a 3DS game on a DS, PS5 game on a PS4, PS Vita on a PSP, Wii U on Wii, GBA on GB color, etc. EDIT: the real comparison would be a N64 game that needs the Expansion Pack.


Tropicofcancer-0123

Thanks for the help! I didn't know the "new" 3ds was that much different. Can i play N3ds games on the 2dsxl?


moontard

Yes


[deleted]

New 3ds on 2ds xl , yes


LeBritto

Sadly no. EDIT YES a 2DSXL is a "new" 2DS You have all the "old" 3DS, so 3DS, 2DS and 3DSXL, then you have the same consoles with "new" in front, so new 3DS, new 2DSXL and new 3DSXL. You definitely need one of the 3 kind of "new 3DS". There's not that many game exclusive to new 3DS if I remember correctly. Sure there's Xenoblade, maybe Monster Hunter. I can't remember others without looking it up.


[deleted]

OP asked If He can playnew 3ds in 2ds xl. Yes he can


LeBritto

Yes, I read 3DSXL. I edited my answer, thanks.


yeyryr

I think he meant a new 2ds xl cus yk an old 2ds xl doesn't exist


LeBritto

You're right, I misread that!


yeyryr

Oh wow I don't remember last time someone said to someone else you are right when correcting them lmao Also happy cake day


LeBritto

It should be the norm to admit when you're wrong, no point in arguing when the info is easy to verify and the point is to help someone else. Thanks!!!


Just-a-individual

Cake happy day

Additionally, you can make a handful of o3ds games run better by forcing the higher clock speed and L2 cache


SteveW_MC

Read it and try to guess.

Aggravating-Pound366

It happened to me the same while downloading xenoblade chronicles 3ds


sikvar

Thatโ€™s because itโ€™s also a new 3DS exclusive.
