| Nintendo DS game | On this device |
|---|---|
| New Super Mario Bros. | Won't run |
| Pokémon Platinum | Won't run |
| Mario Kart DS | Won't run |
| The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass | Won't run |
| Nintendogs | Won't run |
| Kirby Canvas Curse | Won't run |
Why Nintendo DS is the test: two screens and a touch panel — the challenge is the dual-screen layout and 3D, not raw power.
