I don't have one, but have used it some. The slide pad is certainly far better than that horrible PSP analog nub at least... you're right that the d-pad is certainly uncomfortably located though. I'm not sure what more they could have done, but still.
As for DK'94, yes, I entirely agree that it's absurd that they didn't bother to program an SGB emulator. It could have worked and would have been great; there's already a bordered mode (which uses a slight 3d effect), but that's still B&W. There's absolutely no excuse for why SGB games don't have SGB support on the 3DS. Coming from the company that never got around to programming memory card or rumble support into their Wii N64 emulator I am far from surprised, but disappointed just the same.
