Or are the game cards for the both consoles different and not compatable with each other?

The new Nintendo 2DS XL and the new Nintendo 3DS XL are fully compatible with all DS and 3DS game cartridges.

All regular 3DS game carts work on every member of the 2/3DS family. The only ones that will not are the very few games that are only for the New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 2DS, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Fire Emblem Warriors.

@SRti
ALL 3DS games can be played on EVERY 3DS / 2DS models (as long Same Region) but New 3DS only game like Xenoblade MUST be inserted on New 3DS / New 2DS XL models.

It sounds like a broken record at this point, but DS and 3DS games all work on the New Nintendo 3DS XL, but certain games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3D only work on the NEW models. Same goes for the NEW nintendo 2DS XL models.

Nice >:]

I do stupid stuff on youtube.com/mysticbros, so check it out if your bored or whatever.
Or don't, it's your time after all.

Crucially, SNES virtual console releases only work on the New 3DS (as opposed to the older 3DS and 2DS models).

Sure just remember not to feed it after midnight. At least I think that pertains to this of not it should.

@SRti I'll make it easy for you. If it fits in the slot without forcing it, it'll work on a New Nintendo 3DS/2DS. There's... I think four game cartridges (Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, Runbow Pocket, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Minecraft) that don't work on the base models that will fit. 3DS cartridges don't fit on DS models, so you're fine there.
