Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time to get your game on.

There are plenty of games out there to sate your gaming appetite. But I, as every gamer out there, want to know what is new games are on the horizon.

Nintendo is getting a jump on the competition by announcing games that should be out by the summer for the GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Pushing each systems libraries to 225 (Cube) and more than 350 (GBA) games.

The most promising looking game is the next installment of an old school favorite, The Legend of Zelda. The title of this installment is The Wind Waker.

There will also be more e-Reader cards being released. And being released for the GameCube is the GameCube Game Boy Player.
