I was originally going to write a blog entry on iOS retro ports. The problem is that retro ports on iOS are universally pretty terrible. Games made to be played with a joystick, D-pad, or keyboard simply don't convert well to the touch screen.
Some games, however, do work very well on iOS. Puzzle games in particular flourish on iOS, for the same reason they do on the DS; the touch screen is well-suited for the genre, allowing you to manipulate puzzle pieces or the puzzle board in a direct, intuitive manner. The impreciseness that sometimes comes with controlling a touchscreen with your finger can be frustrating in more action-oriented titles, but many puzzle games are much more forgiving of this device flaw.
Unfortunately, on the app store the success of one puzzle game will inevitably be followed by 50 sub-par clones. The iOS store is so overrun with puzzle games that it can be difficult to find one worth playing. Need help sorting through the masses? Here are a few of my favorites:

========================
====================
This list is not comprehensive. My understanding of how "DSi-enhanced"ness functions is a work-in-progress. Even if I understood it properly, the DS library is thousands strong, and I simply don't have access to information about every game.
Please add to this list! I don't own a DSi, so I can only compile information from others. Googling for DSi enhancements always seems to turn up frustratingly little information, game databases all seem to list DSi enhanced games in with DS games (with no way to sort them out separately if you want that information), and I generally just don't trust ROM sites to have correct information. If you can fill in a blank, hook me up with a database that has information RGF doesn't, give me some search tips, suggest a database (English language or otherwise) whose information is reliable --whatever could help-- please do!
===
IMPORTERS, PLEASE NOTE:
The DSi, DSi XL, and 3DS are region locked, and so is their exclusive software - DSi-enchanced cards, DSi-exclusive cards, and 3DS cards. If you are an import gamer, DO NOT IMPORT a DSi-enhanced game expecting to be able to play it on your DSi, DSi XL, or a 3DS.
But, just to make things confusing, you can play any DSi enhanced game on an original DS model or DS Lite. Don't worry, most DSi enhanced games aren't worth importing, even if you have a high tolerance to mediocrity and a wide range of interests like me.
===
SOURCES: I'm relying on online sources to compile this. Notably, I've used GameFAQs, RFGeneration, Amazon, and ebay all to a great extent. I have also used NintendoAge quite a bit.
===
ASSUMPTIONS: When compiling this list, I am working under these assumptions:
[Assumption 1] No DSi-enhanced games were released before June 2009.
[Assumption 2] Not all games with DSi enhancements advertise them. If the box art of a game advertises DSi enhancements, the game is DSi-enhanced.
[Assumption 3] A DS game whose code has TWL instead of NTR is a DSi-enhanced. Exceptions to this rule are the 4 known DSi-only games (listed). Also, packaging for bundles of DS games with DSi units bear the TWL marking.
The best way to determine a game's code is from a SCAN of the game card itself, followed by a scan of the back of the game box's packaging.
When gamers err in transcribing the game code, they tend to err on the side of writing NTR for a TWL game.
===
METHODOLOGY: The bulk of this list relies on two sites: GameFAQs and Amazon.
I began by searching the GameFAQs archive. I narrowed the results to retail released DS games, showing only the first release per title, organized by release date. I then went through and checked each game's pictures and release data. I compiled a list of all games that were DSi-enhanced according to the assumptions laid out above.
For descriptions about the enhancements, I turned to descriptions from nintendo.com and Amazon (both product descriptions and reviews). As some games are exclusive to different regions, I go to different Amazon websites (.com, .co.uk, etc.). I also look at the descriptions on boxes. In a few cases I've used descriptions from gamers in web forums and review sites. Many descriptions of enhancements are missing because I cannot find adequate descriptions.
I have also googled for DSi-enchancements, using various terms and problems related to the issue, with limited success. I found a list of DS games on NintendoAge that would sort titles by product code, but it was slightly unreliable. I checked images on RFGeneration; games exclusive to non-English-speaking regions are particularly difficult to find information about, but seem to be more prone to TWL-ization, perhaps due to piracy concerns.

Shortly after I was admitted into my college's Spanish program, I changed my DS's language to Spanish. Cuz why not? Then something curious happened: when I loaded up the game I was playing, it loaded in Spanish.
I read the game's manual. I looked over the packaging. I combed through the game's menus. There wasn't a word about the game playing in any language other than English. So, I did what anyone would: I checked to see if it played in any other languages.
And then I checked all my other games...
And I checked the games of my local family and friends...
And I asked distant friends to check their games...
So here's the information that's resulted from that. Cuz learning language is awesome, and learning language while playing your favorite games is more awesome!
Key:
VA = voice-acting
{F} = French is an option
{G} = German is an option
{I} = Italian is an option
{J} = Japanese is an option
{S} = Spanish is an option
{P} = Portuguese is an option
(auto) = to change the language of the game, you must change the DS hardware settings
(menu) = a menu lets you change the language of the game
(code) = pressing buttons in a specific way lets you change the language of the game
