Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA) - 6th May 2005 This RPG adventure combines the well-known worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy to create a unique and individual gaming experience. The game begins where the original Kingdom Hearts left off; Sora, Donald and Goofy continue their exciting adventure in search of Sora's friend Riku and the king of Disney Castle. Use the innovative new card battle system to navigate through the game?but choose your moves wisely, as each unique card is linked to a particular attack or ability. By "stocking" multiple cards, players can amplify their power and unleash powerful combos, cast formidable magic, and create unique battle strategies. Highlights of the game include beautiful graphics, high-quality movie event sequences, a deep storyline and an intriguing cast, making this is a must-have game for 2005. This game is already hugely successful in North America and Japan, having shipped a total of 1 million units just two months after its launch.
WarioWare Twisted! (GBA) - 3rd June 2005 Like Yoshi's Universal Gravitation this game uses Nintendo's innovative tilt-and-turn technology to add an extra dimension to Wario's unique brand of micro-game madness. This game features over 200 mini-games games, many of which require the cartridge to be twisted or tilted. You'll twist and turn the console to dunk a basketball, aim a laser at an alien creature, move a fence in front of a wild pig and guide an airplane through a narrow opening, plus much, much more. The game also features a built in rumble device giving players rumble feed back while they play.
Mario Party Advance (GBA) - 24th June 2005 Join Mario and friends in this new action packed adventure to earn coins in exciting mini games and buy Professor E. Gadd's wonderful gadgets. Players can choose from many famous Nintendo characters such as Luigi, Yoshi, Peach and Koopa Kids. All-new multiplayer battle games allow players players to battle against each other or trade mini games and coins. With over 60 mini games this game will keep you entertained for months to come.
Yoshi Touch & Go (NDS) - 6th May 2005 Everybody's favourite green dinosaur is back, once again guiding the helpless Baby Mario to safety through colourful levels filled with dangerous enemies. This title is the perfect example of how touch-screen gaming is the future. Players do not control Yoshi, or Baby Mario, instead they have to aid the daring duo through the levels using their stylus. Players help Yoshi span large gaps by drawing cloud bridges, destroy enemies by trapping them in bubbles and collect coins on the top screen by throwing eggs. Four different modes of play are available with different level design and difficulty depending on performance. Two players can also battle it out using DS download-play. In addition Yoshi Touch and Go features a new option which allows players to detect any active PictoChat conversations in the area while they play.
Conclusions: So what do we have? First of all, a few new titles appear on the releaselists. Herby Fully Loaded, Care Bears and Koala Brothers for the Gameboy Advance, and Cocoto Kart Racer for the Nintendo DS. Furthermore, the releaselist shows Yoshi's Universal Gravitation using the original title, despite the recent listing of 'Yoshi Topsy-Turvy' on the ESRB listings.
As soon as we receive more information on any of the titles, you'll read it right here.

That's weird! Nintendo.de has different dates for Kingdom Hearts and Mario Party Advance.
It's not unusual for slightly different release dates across Europe. I got these today from Nintendo UK.
Pretty bad line-up. Maybe I should buy a PSP. Sony is more serious than Nintendo. Never seen such a bad presentation. I mean, come on.. you won't win with this kind of line-up......
GRRR... WHY YOU...! OK... Calm down... I'll admit Care Bears *ugh* and Koala Brothers are pretty... um... dumb. But there are good games, too! Nintendo always has those shining gems.
I have a PSP too but the battery life drives me crazy.
Not interested.
im wonering now if i should also buy a psp only NFS U2 and Warioware are the only two games i like.
oops
