I'm just saying, you'd end up with the touchscreen for some commands and the controls on the d-pad, or the controls on the touchscreen ("touchscreen analog") and maybe a couple of buttons on the touchscreen but most of the controls in simplified form on some of the buttons. You can't have both a screenful of buttons and an analog control on the same small touchscreen at the same time.
Now, they did port Wing Commander Prophecy to the GBA... but Wing Commander has always been simple, and there have been past console versions of that series, compared to X-Wing/TIE Fighter, which is PC-only. A Wing Commander, Rogue Squadron, or Terminal Velocity would make a lot more sense than X-Wing... X-Wing is like I-War or Freespace II, not Rogue Squadron.
...
Actually, Terminal Velocity DS would be awesome! They should make that!
