There are plenty of good games on 3DS, it all depends on your taste. Just check them all.

Decided to go for this, looks the part. Bit concerned whether there will be enough good games available for 3ds to get my moneys worth from it but looking forward to getting it now!
The library is amazing so you've no worries there. 0 -

Pokemon has a LOT of reading in it.
Mario platform games are frustrating for younger gamers
Do not underestimate the awesomeness of Nintendogs for kids who can speak but do little else. My eldest has loved it since she was 3 (she doesn't have her own 3DS, but letting her play with her puppy when she's very good or upset can work wonders ) Also, each game supports 3 dogs/cats and so you can support up to 3 kids with one cart!
Luigi's Mansion 2 is a lot of fun too, but the ghosts will eventually spook the kids. You can get them into the first couple of levels though by joking them along... it might even be empowering, they know they can defeat ghosts with the hoover so they don't need to be afraid...
Animal Crossing is an excellent game for kids - there's reading but you don't need to do it. There're no fixed goals, but there are rewards for certain good behaviours. You can play online or local multiplayer but it only gets competitive if you want it to. The content only becomes questionable if you make it questionable (you can define other characters' catchphrases to be as filthy as you like, or dig enough holes in the ground to make an effigy of a rudimentary set of genitals visible from space, but that's not in the game by default!). Growing apples, watering flowers, fishing, diving, bug catching - it's the childhood you never had.
Freaky Forms is good fun - creative but easy for kids to create with. Gameplay is repetitive but kind of fun and endearing. You do occasionally get some very creatively filthy Forms from other players though.0 -

No issues with backwards compatibility (except for games that use the GBA slot, guitar hero/etc).
There's no 3DS version yet, but the original will work fine! There's a cut down (from the DS version) version called Bomberman Blitz available on the eShop. It's €5 and may be worth a look as it's handy to have on the system at all times in my opinion Review here: http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/11/bomberman_blitz_dsiware 0 -

A sticky might be in order....
3DS / 3DS XL plays DS and DSi Enhanced and 3DS games. Has access to 3DS and DSi games on eShop (Nintendo's online store accessed from the console).3DS is region locked (European console plays European games, US plays US etc)
2DS is a 3DS without the 3D function or the hinge to close the screen. 3D function not necessary to play games (arguably the AR games are pointless without it though, and Resident Evil looks sooooo good in 3D...). Is otherwise functionally the same.
DSi / DSiXL plays DS and DSi Enhanced games. Has access to DSi games on eShop. DSi is region locked for DSi-Enhanced games, but DS games are region free.
DS Lite plays DS and GameBoy Advance games. No region lock. No eshop
DS Phat plays DS and GBA games, with the advantage that the GBA games fit all the way inside the body of the console! No region lock, no eshop.
Given the cost of a DSi versus a 2DS or 3DS, I'd get a 2DS/3DS - you get to play all the same DS/DSi games plus all the fab 3DS releases from the last couple of years, and all the stuff coming down the line for the 3/2DS in the future.
Edit : Argos have the Black 3DS XL + The last couple of Professor Layton games for €210. Slightly cheaper from Argos in the UK if you can Parcel Motel it, but for the sake of 15-20 quid you might like the convenience of B&M collection / return.
*I can't remember his name - the guy with the hat! You know the one I mean. Professor Layton Professor Layton I haven't played the games...
