Nintendo has released the details of next quarter's forthcoming games.

The forthcoming quarter reveals a host of fan-favourites and oddments as we go into the summer lull that we experience every year. Obvious highlights are Baten Kaitos and Starfox Assault on the GameCube, also the long-awaited Killer 7. Kingdom Hearts for the GBA has been well-received in Japan and America, topping the charts with its mix of Final Fantasy plot and Disney action.

Good news for prospective DS owners as Need For Speed Underground 2 and Yoshi Touch & Go are out next quarter too.

We could spend all day listing what we think are the highlights for the machine, but it suffices to say that without going into too much detail, there will be something for everyone released on all three Nintendo systems in the next few months.

Feast your eyes on these, and then quit sniffing around my house!
