Yes. The 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS are backwards compatible and can play DS and DSi games. Unless they require the GBA slot, the 3DS is not compatible with Slot 2 attachments for the DS so games such as Guitar Hero will not work. The DS and DSi game will not be in 3D even if the 3D is turned on.

If you have a 3DS that is part of the ambassador program, (i.e. bought before August 12th and connected to the eShop at least once before then) then you will be eligible to receive 10 free Game Boy Advance virtual console games, scheduled to be released between September 1st and the end of the year. These games, however, will not be made available to systems bought outside the ambassador program window.
