Here´s one person that LOVED SM64 DS. Seriously, the stick provided a soft and comfortable control, but although the non-stick based controls on SM64 DS are A LITTLE worse, it´s not that big of a deal to consider the game a disgrace to the series. Heck, the control scheme is the same as SMW, with a running button and the D-Pad, and one can get used to it too. The stylus controls was also nice but in my modest opinion, D-pad + Y button to run was Good.
Also, having re-played both versions at once, they are practically different games, so both are worth playing. Not only does SM64 DS have 30 new stars, but it also has a lot of new sections (like the whole bottom side of Whomp´s fortress) and a lot of the missions themselves are new (silver star ones, stars that change locations or add new elements , etc). Also, it has some new stages, although all of them are sub-stages. And the added final bosses were a great touch too.
Oh, and who can forget the Super Shroom which granted the ability to destroy even the freaking decoration (such as the arrow signals), or the 3 new characters to play as? woah, I can play as Weegee in SM64? screw hacks, DS one rocks.
Sometimes I also am a little purist, but it has more than enough new content to be worth buying, and in my opinion, the controls aren´t nearly as horrible as everyone says.
In my opinion, it´s a must buy for the DS.
Diddy Kong Racing... it´s nice, but lowering the difficulty that much... was just "meh". The new tracks don´t make for it, although being able to play as Wizpig and Taj, and the option to make your own tracks is cool. In general DKR DS is not worth buying if you have the original 64 one.
A little off topic: is it me or there aren´t any other racing games apart from DKR DS and Mario Kart DS? I like both of them but none of them were "great". I know you may hate me for saying I don´t consider MKDS a great game just after defending SM64 DS, but the paper-cut items, the poor character roster (only 12? Mario Basket has 21!!!), and the extremely overpowered cars (egg-1 and dry bomber, especially when snaking) killed the fun a little. I still like it but I prefer the GCN and Wii, even if those also have some flaws.
Come on, in n64 we got DKR, MK64, and F-Zero X, GCN got MKDD, F-Zero GX and Sonic Riders, and Wii got the second riders, MK Wii, and the average but somewhat likeable DK jet race (which I like, even if it has a ton of flaws). Heck, even GBA got THREE F-Zero games and a Mario Kart game. What is on DS? I think only an F-Zero game can save it´s racing game roster.
And, in case you think it, I´m NOT attacking the DS (for example, GCN also had close to none Tennis games and I´m not attacking it either), I just felt like telling you this because I would like to see some more racing games on the DS
