After recovering from your turkey-dinner coma and dry-cleaning the nog stains off your pants that no longer fit, you'll need a way to spend all those gift cards that your relatives gave you. The holidays are still weeks away, but Nintendo already has its eyes on 2005.

Likewise, owners of Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance SP will find new ways to enjoy new and favorite franchises.
