Some Nintendo dates

DS, GBA, Cube.

Nintendo's issued a big old pile of summer release dates for DS, Cube and GBA. Naturally most of them we've heard before - hell, some of them out now, like Pokemon Link and Metroid Prime Hunters - but there are, among them, a handful of things we didn't explicitly know.

So, since there isn't much more to this story and I can't think of any good reason to segue into a duck joke, here's an abridged version of the list featuring the most interesting bits:
