They are a proprietary form of mask ROM, which in layman's terms means the game is printed onto it during manufacturing. Traditionally, the NDS game cards hold up to 4Mb, or 512 MB. I personally expect DS games (or 3DS games, which might be based on the same tech) to break that 4Mb limit. Well, shatter it, much like we've seen with SDHC cards reaching 32GB. Theoretically, storage is limited only by manufacturing costs and software. That is, on the one hand, Nintendo can only fit as much onto the disk as they can afford without affecting their bottom line. On the other hand, the game system has to be able to support the extra storage. I believe the DS is currently rather limited on that front, although a simple firmware update on the DSi or the DSiXL should be able to remedy that. Theoretically, these game cards should be able to hold Wii-sized games on the 3DS.

Anywhere from 10 to about 250, depends on the file size. The file size for roms go between 4MB and 128MB.

DS ROMs range from 16MB to 256MB; that's 4 up to 64 per GB.

Nintendo 3DS game cards are outwardly same as DS cards, except that they are white (as opposed to the DS cards' black) and have a small tab on the side to prevent them from being inserted into other DS systems. 3DS game cards are also known to have a much higher memory storage density than DS cards, at apparently 1-8 GB to the DS's 8-512 MB.
