Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why don't we see more N64 ports on the DS?

As I stated in the topic, there were many really great games on the N64, and Super Mario 64 DS worked really well, so how come we haven't seen more N64 ports on the DS? Game Boy Advance got SNES ports. Surely it wouldn't be that much of an effort to port these games over. Is it the lack of an analog stick?

The ability to have 3D on DS is so underused. It's dissapointing.



Yeah, I'm quite upset that more games don't utilize the DS' 3D capabilities. Most developers are treating it like a SNES with a built-in Super-FX chip instead of a more-powerful N64.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Ocarina of Time DS, Majoras Mask DS, and Turok DS would be awesome. They should port games from other consoles in the same era to the DS too like Panzer Dragoon.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

The lack of an analog stick.

EDIT: A lack of C buttons as well.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Isn't Mario Kart DS similar enough?

N64 games are terrible when played with a d-pad.
