So I thought I'd do a weekly "whats out this week" thing, I've done this before but kinda half assed. This time I'm using all of my ass and supply more details, videos and screens of the games. Thought I'd do this for a couple of weeks, if no ones interested in this then I'll stop.
So heres this weeks expected releases:
April 24th
SNK Vs Capcom: Card Fighters - US Release
Dealing out the first Card Fighters Clash since the Neo Geo Pocket version in 2000, this DS game features the same card battle match-ups between Capcom and SNK stars of the NGP classic.
With over 300 cards, players can build decks of characters pulled from the annals of SNK and Capcom gaming history for the ultimate strategic battle.
Screen shots
Previous titles: Metal Slug Anthology, Metal Slug Advance, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 3.
Looking forward to this as I still play the NGPC one every now and again and its the only card battler that I've gotten fully into. No wi-fi mode though
April 26th
Panel de Pon - Japanese Release
Developed by Intelligent Systems, Panel de Pon DS is a DS installment in the puzzle title that's variously known as Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle League and Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. The rules are different from Tetris, but the point is the same: eliminate tiles and make combos. The DS version adds a few elements to the mix, including the expected stylus-based controls. Just like Tetris, you'll be able to play against far off players thanks to included 4-player Wi-Fi support.

Previous titles: Advance Wars Series, Paper Mario Series, Napoleon, Fire Emblem Series
Will be known as Planet Puzzle League when it gets a release outside of Japan, looking forward to this as its always a great game whatever the platform or name its under. Graphics look basic and theres no characters but this game has always been about gameplay.
April 27th
Tank Beat - US Release
Tank Beat is a touch based action battle game that drives the player through each battle in a variety of tanks against armored, airborne, and sea opponents. Tank Beat is entirely stylus-based. As you draw tracks and fire on the DS's bottom screen game map, your tank appears and responds on the top screen. Players engage in a variety of missions and commandeer a full range of tanks: from tiny scrappers, to missile carriers, to giant Panzers.
The game features with three modes: Story, Skirmish, and Battle. In single player Story Mode, players progress through 27 levels of play and unlock various tanks as they achieve objectives. Skirmish Mode allows players to practice on any of the maps and tanks that were unlocked in Story Mode plus additional exclusive levels. Free-for-all Battle Mode pitches up to 4 players against each other in either wireless head to head action or via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.

Previous titles: Chaos Field, Radio Allergy
Sounds pretty good, but looking at the video and screens suggest meh-ness.

Previous titles: Franklin's Great Adventures, Cocoto Kart Racer, Back to Stone, Legend of the Dragon
So thats it for the week, I missed out a lot of Japanese releases (21 to be precise!) as most need the language to play them or we already had them in other regions. Same goes for any other games that have already been dumped in English.
Apart from Snk Vs Capcom and Panel de Pon, theres not that much but I guess most people are busy with there Pokemonz to care
