Should N64 games be on the 3DS eshop?

Very wrong. Only two buttons are missing, namely two of the C-buttons (or the A/B-buttons, depending on how you look at it).

The touch screen easily compensates that, as proven in Ocarina of Time 3D where you now were able to equip five items (counting the ocarina) instead of three.

Not to mention the Circle Pad possibilities.

I think the problem we will be presented here is that simply porting the game wont be possible.  They would have to actually go in and change the controls.  I don't know if that's particularly difficult or not, but it still would take more resources than just simply porting as it is.

Indeed. The buttons would need to be changed one way or another, so if they start using the touch screen solely as additional buttons they might as well upgrade the entire game with touch functionalities. From there it escalates further until we have Star Fox and Ocarina of Time 3D-like titles.

In other words, simply porting the games over without any added 3D effects, improved textures and framerates or any new touch functionalities, it would simply be one wasted title that could have been properly upgraded and better suited for the system.
