Nintendo has rolled out a bunch of release dates for this summer's first-party software titles.

Punch-Out!! is coming to Wii in May, though an exact date has yet to be revealed. DS title Pokémon Platinum Version will be released on 22nd May, complete with the new Wi-Fi Plaza mode that lets up to 20 people play together in real-time.

But before that there's Rhythm Paradise, another DS title. You must use the stylus to tap, flick or slide on the touch screen in time with the rhythm, scoring points for keeping to the beat. Read our review of the Japanese version, Rhythm Tengoku Gold, for the full lowdown. The game is out on 1st May.

The latest addition to the New Play Control! series, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, will be in the shops this June. And finally Walk With Me! Do You Know Your Walking Routine? is being released for DS on 5th June, complete with two "activity meters".
