Word in from this morning sees us finally getting a few dates for upcoming new releases - the handheld set to hit the continent next month - nearly five months after its Japanese debut.

Punch-Out! will be out in May, we hear, with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat set to land come June. Rhythm Paradise, the first DSi-only title on the roster, will be with us on May 1st.

Stateside, the latter title will arrive a little earlier, on April 5th, with the handheld itself expected in Europe come April 3rd. Not long to go now.

We'll bring you more on Nintendo's new-look handheld, in addition to more word on new games. We hope.
