Nintendo DS plays Game Boy Advance Games?

[evil jose]

My nephew lost his GBA a couple of weeks ago and my sister is thinking about picking him up a Nintendo DS. He still has some GBA games though and someone told my sister that they will play on the DS. Any idea on this? I've never heard of this before and I bought him a couple of GBA games for Christmas so I'm wondering if I should return them or not.

Never mind. I found my own answer.

Backward Compatibility

Nintendo DS Lite features a separate media port for Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing you to play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single-player mode.
