I feel it would be a major issue as up to now I can't think of a DS title that utilizes the touchscreen that doesn't require you to fix your eyes on the screen to know what you are doing.

Mario 64 DS and Metroid PH both used the touchpad as a virtual analog stick. No need to look at the lower screen.

I didn't know that, but I have Mario 64DS and I will try it out. Thanks for the tip.
