Yup, you sure can. No need to buy them again, but they won't be 3D.

This is an excellent console I love the new analogue stick, it makes gameplay much easier i intend on buying one soon.The Nintendo 3DS is the latest handheld gaming console from Nintendo with a real 3D gaming experiance without the need for any 3D glasses! While viewing the units screen head on, provides a great 3D gaming experiance however if you turn you head slightly to the side while looking at the screen causes a ghosting effect.

Yeah! I was so happy when I heard that because I didn't no what to do with my old games cuz i was trading in my ds lite for a sale at GameStop. I got my 3DS for 99$. BUT ANYWAY, yah. And the graphics weren't too bad either, maybe just a little blurrier.

you can play ds games on the 3ds. there are a few games (maybe 1 or 2 that can't be played because of the use of the gba port.

Yes, the 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games.
