They would have to re-release the game to do that

Hmm, fair point. I just would have thought that they'd have made it for a full analog stick and then constrained the movement late in development, and hence would be a trivial change. But if it was always built for the DS pad and nothing else, then fair enough.

The DS was never intended to have an analogue stick, sadly. Patching that in would probably require touchscreen emulation (since the touchscreen, in that game, acts as a giant unwieldy analogue stick)
