I believe the DSLite has the d-pad crammed tighter toward your hand then where the NES controller d-pad was. Also, the NES controller is a lot lighter. With the DS my thumbs are jamed tight against my hand and I have to hold the DS up so it doesn't fall. The combination of those two things makes it a lot harder to play. Even the Wii remote held sideways is a lot easier to play on and that has a smaller d-pad then the NES did.
