Can Plants vs Zombies be played on a 3DS?
Sorry to burst the bubble, but no, Plants vs Zombies can't be directly played on a 3DS. However, there's a silver lining! PVZ was released for the DS, and since the 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games, you can still play it on your 3DS. Just grab a DS copy of the game, and you're all set to defend your garden from zombies on your 3DS!

Nope, can't do it straight off as a 3DS game. But the DS version works fine on a 3DS because of backwards compatibility. So, yes and no? Kinda like how a tomato is technically a fruit but you still don't put it in a fruit salad.
I've played it on my 3DS using the DS version of the game, and it works perfectly. It's not a 3DS game, but the 3DS can play DS games, so you're good to go. The graphics look just as good, and the gameplay is super smooth. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're a fan!
