Yes, it's been confirmed you can use the circle pad for DS/DSi games.  It responds as a digital pad would though, so don't expect finer analog movement in Mario 64 DS.

makes sense. but SM64DS did have 'analogue' control using that weird thumb strap thing that only came with the original ds on the touch screen, but it was crap, lol. i wonder if that means the circle pad wil replicate that instead of the digital option

How were you supposed to use the thumb strap? I could never work it out :p

Nor could i. Definitely one of the more ill-advised touch-screen shoehorn-jobs over the DS' lifespan
