Got a real n00b question, can you play GBA games on the DS?

I've seen brand new GameBoy Micros for sale at £35 which was quite
tempting (I've still got an original GBA), but if the DS will play GBA
games, then I'd rather spend the extra money and get the DS 'cause then
I can get New SMB and the new Yoshi's Island game...

Thanks in advance,
Pete

Yes, the DS will play GBA games, but not the older Gameboy or Gameboy Color
games.

Awesome news! Thanks for the quick response. I'll be keeping my GBA (and
original GameBoy) so the older stuff won't be a problem!

Looks like I'm going to be /forced/ to buy a DS then... ;)
