64 DS was nothing like Mario Galaxy. It was a port of an 5th gen game while Galaxy was a bold, groundbreaking leap forward for the franchise.

DS had no Wii Sports/Wii Fit, no Twilight Princess, no Smash Bros, no Mario Galaxy; it didn't offer cheaper alternatives to all Wii's system sellers the way 3DS does for Wii U.

As for Wii U and Animal Crossing, it's coming; wait and see. ;)

I disagree, 64 DS let you play as Yoshi.....was much better then Galaxy.

3DS has no Wii Sports either, what's your point? WiiU needs a Wii Sports to be successful, simple.

3DS also doesn't have any new 3D Zelda's. If you're willing to omit Super Mario 64, you have to omit Ocarina of Time.

So far you've argued nothing, many of the big Wii franchises were on DS

You're missing the point.

Wii and DS were different enough not to compete. There was no Mario Galaxy Portable or Smash Bros Brawl DS. The Wiimote was a huge differentiator.

3DS and Wii U are too similar: 3D Land - 3D World, Smash Bros for both, etc. No Wiimote type hook to separate Wii U.
