Nintendo to release 120 games in next 3 months

Sure, the new Nintendo DSi arrives on April 5 but that's not all that the Big N is up to. Nintendo plans to deliver two new Wii games with Excitebots: Trick Racing and Punch-Out!! along with 40 games from other game makers. It's also bringing back GameCube classics Pikmin, Mario Power Tennis and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with "New Play Control!" to Wii. The new editions will allow players to use the motion control abilities of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers.

Mario Kart Wii fans will finally get a new ride with Excitebots: Trick Racing (April 20), allowing them to race with their Wii Wheels and perform tricks in their wheeled vehicles. Sports fans looking for a new way to work out will get to slug away with PunchOut!! (May 18) or go the more traditional workout route with EA Sports Active (May 19), a fitness experience that goes beyond Wii Fit by offering exercise for the whole family. For more traditional action fans, the beautiful looking The Conduit plans to deliver a terrifyingly fun alien elimination game based in Washington, DC.

DS owners gain over 70 games scheduled for release for the world's favorite handheld gaming system over the next few months. A couple notables include the Japanese hit, Rhythm Heaven, which tests players' ability to touch the screen in perfect beat; the game arrives on April 5. And for the senior crowd, Personal Trainer: Walking tracks their walking progress with two pedometers that sync up with their DS on March 25.
