Really not in Racing, Sports genres, so can't comment on this, but Shooters... well, if you mean FPS\TPS so there're very few titles on handhelds worth playing, but all of them inferior to home consoles or PC versions. Couple of Syphon Filters and Metroid Prime Hunters - that's practically all I'd recommend for FPS\TPS lovers on handhelds. Someone may add Resistance, Killzone, Moon, Ward etc., but those are very questionable. So let's say if DS haven't got this... no handheld on market have this. FPS\TPS just not a handheld genre... yet. Why? Well, there's difference between game on handheld and handheld game. Most of portable Shooters just pure reincarnations of home consoles or PC titles in miniature. Some unique design ideas are needed to make those games appeal to mass public besides portable format. As you may see most of game genres on DS fit it's design idea very well, but FPS\TPS... hmmm, none of developers haven't overcome this challenge yet. Maybe in the future.
