What is it you don't like with touchscreen controls? NSMB for the DS has pretty short levels and are meant to be played on the go, as are quite a few other handheld games. And I think smartphones today are more capable than the original DS, so why couldn't mobile games be good if they had better controllers?

It isn't ergonomic to hold a phone and do all the controls IMO. Another thing is there isn't as much of a feel to it as there is with a controller. Touchscreen involves a lot of dragging and lagging, and your fingers often get in the way. There isn't enough variety or custimization either.

In regards to your other questions, I think they could be better with a controller; that's why I suggested it. However, once you add a controller to the equation, you kind of defeat the purpose of mobile gaming on a phone because how are you gonna hold both at once. Handheld gaming devices exist for a reason; they are the buffer zone in between consoles and mobile phones.

That's all I got man I'm really tired. I'll try to add more to the discussion after some sleep.
