The addition of touch support makes a big difference to games - one reason why the iPhone and iPod Touch have been so big on gaming -

...and don't forget the Nintendo DS, which probably did more than anything else to bring touchscreen gaming into the mainstream.

In fact technically most DS games should be very easy to do on S60v5, which would be interesting to see happen.
