Yes, but not physical cartridges. They'll have a Virtual Console that emulates Gameboy games.

Nope, for now, only Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. It doesn't have a GBA slot either.

i'm sure they'll expand the VC market once the 3DS has been our for a while.

Makes me happy I still have my GBA. Although I see GBA games coming by summer 2012.

Yep. It can. Backwards compatibility is a major feature for the Nintendo 3DS. Makes the old school gamers happy as well. :D
