The DS is a champion of 2D gaming, something the N64 never was or ever tried to be. It has a more robust offering of titles across far more genres than the N64 could ever hope to have. I don't really see much of a connection, since the philosophy of the N64 seemed to be "Kill 2D off!" while the DS seems to be "What amazing things can we do with two screens, an SNES controller setup and a touch screen?".
Overall I don't see how the N64 can really compete with the DS. N64 was better at sports, racing and 3D platforming titles. The DS is better at basically everything else, and contains many genres that could never even have worked on the N64.If we broke it down by genre, and showed side by side how each performs with quality software, it would show a huge lean in the DS's direction.
To me it's not even a contest. DS by a country mile.
