Could have sworn this would be picked up by now...anyways...

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness - October 3rd, 2005
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - October 17th, 2005
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix - October 24th, 2005

Very excited to see a confirmed date for Fire Emblem, only because it's something nice and concrete. Just getting into the series now, and really looking forward to the GameCube version.
 
Gamecube games that i'll be buying this year:

Zelda
Battalion Wars (formerly Advanced Wars: Under Fire"
Fire Emblem
Midway Arcade Treasures 3

Why not spread these out a bit to avoid another drought and sales cannibalization?
Because having fresh games in Q4 is worth a lot more than any perceived loss to cannibalization. Releasing those games in Q4 also makes it appear that the GameCube is a vital system in the weeks leading up to the Zelda launch. Zelda is going to tempt a lot of people to buy a GCN, and Nintendo needs to stack that period with supporting software to push people over the edge.

That'd only leave Zelda TP and Mario Party 7 for November and December though. NOA should really consider sneaking in Odama or ChibiRobo to fill it out. GBA could probably use Screw Breaker too.

Ah yeah, I didn't think about that. You're right, maybe November/December will get filled out with more releases.
