Nintendo has just sent SPOnG details on their UK release schedule, which is DS and GBA-heavy and, sadly, as we prepare to wave goodbye to a reliable old friend, GameCube light, with a mere twelve titles left on the GC release list for 2006.
The main titles we are looking forward to seeing on DS are, in date order, Super Princess Peach (May 26), Dr Kawashima's Brain Training (June 9), Rainbow Islands Revolution (sometime in June), New Super Mario Bros. (June 30), LEGO Star Wars II and Harvest Moon DS (both September).
There are still a load of titles planned in for Game Boy Advance, with over 25 games on the schedule. Shame that the same is not the case for its big brother, who is now fading out of sight, what with the new shiny Wii finally showing its colours last week.
The GameCube will be heading for the cupboard under the stairs pretty soon, what with the Wii release penned in for this autumn/fall. But in the meantime there are still a few gems to look forward to including Nintendo’s Chibi-Robo (May 26), Super Monkey Ball Adventure (June 2) and LEGO Star Wars II The Original Trilogy (September 12).
Here, for the completist, is the full release list:
