My son has asked for a game for Xmas, but it's not clear to me if the 3ds games are backwards compatible with earlier models - he has an XL.

3DS games will not run on any of the DS models at all.

However, I believe DS games will all run on the 3DS, as the latter is the newer hardware and we call this 'backwards compatible'. If he only has a DS, DSi, DSi XL or any variant on the standard Nintendo DS then DO NOT buy him 3DS games as they won't work.
