Ok, I'll bite.

I bought Street Fighter 4, and I expected the game play to suck on iOS without a D-pad. The graphics exceed any fighting game I've seen on the DS, and the game play is true to the original.

As for the market for DS games, a lot of the big winners for the DS were casual games (the DS legitimized "Brain Games"). Much of the Brain Game genre is easily/faithfully reproduced on iOS.

The driving games I've played on iOS seem better than the DS, and even the hockey game that I got on iOS (I believe it's 2K sports) plays surprisingly well.

Beast Boxing is a pretty good rendition of Punch Out too.

Yeah, all the casual games on iOS get the glory, but there are deep console level games for iOS that can rival games on the DS.
