Alright everyone, prepare to empty those wallets, March has arrived. There are big games for every sytem, including some of my most anticipated of the year! Come stroll along this pixel filled lane to see what the month of March has in store for us.
[Gamecube]
Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (03.14.05)
To say Im looking forward to this game would be an understatement. This has been my most anticipated games since it debuted at E3 last year. This game was made for me, I swear. Sweet graphic style, simple yet effective controls, fun arcarde style of play and…oh yeah, my good buddy DK!
Everyone who has played this game, from forum members to reviewers, have all heeped much praise on the game. Pick it up, its gonna rock!
Splinter Cell Choas Theory(03.29.05)
Wow, this game snuck up on me. I didnt realize it was coming out so soon. Should be good, just like the previous two Splinter Cells. In my opinion, this is the ultimate stealth/spy series out there.
[DS]
Yoshi Touch & Go (03.14.05)
This is the DS game Ive been waiting for. Making use of all of the DS’s innovative features (including the sorely missed integrated Pictochat detection function) this is the flagship DS title we were all promised.
In the game you must help Yoshi get baby Mario to safety. Sounds easy, but I hear the challenge is quite high. The game has randomly generated levels and is more about getting high scores than finding little odds and ends. Sounds like old school heaven to me.
Other DS games coming out this month include Pokemon Dash! and Retro Atari Classics. Both look fun, but I probably wont pick either up unless the reviews are astounding.
[GBA]
Mario Party Advance (03.28.05)
With a visual style similar to Superstar Saga and crazy mini-games like every other Mario Party, this games looks like it will be a blast. Plus, I hear the focus is more on a single player game, which is awesome for someone like me who doesnt have brothers or roommates around to play with anymore.
Wario Ware Twisted! (03.21.05) (04.21.05)
NOTICE: Well, looks like another GBA game got pushed back. Pretty sure Wario Ware got the bump because they Nintendo doesnt want to steal sales from the DS version. Smart move, honestly.
Enjoyed any of the previous Wario Ware games? Well, this is supposedly the best. Yup, even better than the brand new DS Wario Ware Touched. In fact, some of the challenges in Touched! were taken from Twisted! Just dont expect to play this one in public without some very strange looks.
Have fun in March everyone!
Catch! Touch! Yoshi! has been owning me and my friends for the past month…this game is truly one of a kind. Both single and multi player modes are sooo worth the $30 pricetag.

out of those, wario ware twisted and donkey kong jungle beat are on my list of games to buy. you forgot the psp launch along with a bunch of games for that. out of the psp launch games, i plan on getting lumines, mercury, and metal gear acid. i might get twisted metal, but i’m not sure.

Out of the PSP stuff, the only one that looks cool to me is Mercury.

Doesn’t Giest come out too?
Isn’t that worth a mention at least?
I’ll DEFINATELY be getting Twisted though!

Sorry, May, not March. Mea culpa.

Don’t forget Devil May Cry 3.
It seems there are a lot of great releases this month.

Catch! Touch! Yoshi! is going to be HAWT!!!!!
I can’t wait till the 14th!
There are new IGN videos of it, that will blow you away.

I’m just not excited about Yoshi’s Touch & Go for some reason… I played Balloon Trip at E3 and enjoyed it, but I can’t imagine it in a full game. Is there something I’m missing?
