These dates are what retailers say is out unless stated otherwise, sometimes they make dates up for pre-ordering purposes. These dates could also be "shipping dates" which usually means that that's the date when games get shipped to stores so a game could either be in stores on that day or after. Some games may get delayed some others not listed may appear but at the moment of posting these are correct.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROOOOOL I've been gone, I've been up away from home. Love that song, and I might be into this game too. Its a port of the ZX81/C64/BBC Mirco game though.
In Air Traffic Chaos, players use the Touch Screen to safely manage takeoffs, gate assignments and landings for all incoming and outgoing airport traffic for 14 different airlines in varying weather conditions. Outstanding performance will earn players 16 different merit badges, including Veteran ATC and ATC Legend. An in-depth tutorial teaches players the basics of managing the busy skies while three difficulty levels with five stages in each offer plenty of challenge. Players can also share their high scores with up to 7 friends while Rumble Pack support makes the experience more realistic for aspiring air traffic controllers.
This was released in Japan a while ago as Air Traffic Chaos: I Am An Air Traffic Controller! and kudos to Maejsco in bringing this out elsewhere.

You know if you're into cartoon ladies than that's fine but this verges on paedofillia.
The player assumes the role of junior high school student Akuji. He has been asked by an angel, Lulu, to locate a witch that has snuck into his school. In order to find the witch Akuji must search the suspects' bodies for a "witch mark". The preferred method is by using touch (using the stylus to guide his hands). So yeah you go around groping 12-23 year olds in a hope to discover if they are a witch or not
Reviews say its a pretty awful game. There is a trailer but if you really need to see it then seek help.

<b>Developer:</b> Nintendo R&D1 <b>Publisher:</b> Nintendo
The GBA game was the last classic that Nintendo graced the GBA with and was a shame that it never got an release outside of Japan.
In case you don't know RTG is a game much like Wario Ware. Each level is a minigame which requires the player to perform certain actions in sync with the rhythm to create a beat to go along with the background music. For instance, in one level, a beat is created by hitting numerous baseballs as they pass across the screen. If the player is unable to match the correct timing, they receive a "half hit" or "miss" rating. These misses are counted and used to determine a pass-or-fail score. Many of the other minigames involve similar activities that require the player to rely on the rhythm of the background music for timing. The highest total score attainable in the game is 140 points. In order to receive this score, the player must complete every single minigame in one try without missing the timing by 1/60th of a second.
It is totally playable for the none Japanese speaking folk but it is being localised as Rhythm Heaven for outside of Japan, and that is released later this year.

I forgot to do the Wii bit this week but there is only one game worth bothering with and that is MLB Power Pros 2008, aside from that the rest are crappy looking cheaply made games, which is a shame as the Wii deserves much better.
<u><b>No thread next week</b></u>
There is very little out anyway apart from Race Driver: Grid & the Japanese only Fire Emblem & Summon Night 2 and absolutely nothing for the Wii. The only reason I did this one was because there was others listed but hey ho delays/made up dates are common in the DS world.
