Racing games have never been a strength of handhelds... nor have strategy games, though a few have done well. Puzzle games of course have.
As for Mario 64, some of that game is in longer parts but it is somewhat compartmentalized... each star is a seperate mission and between missions you save and can quit... not ideal, but no worse than a portable Zelda title (even one designed for the GB).
Yeah, that's definitely a good summary of the current DS lineup. Yup.
It's gotten a few more titles, you know...

Quote:MG Acid, Wipeout Pure, and especially Lumines. Racing games, strategy games, puzzle games. And on the DS we have Mario 64 w/o analog controls.
