Pokemon Channel With Pikachu (GCN, 7/18)
Pokemon Coliseum (GCN, Fall)
Mario Golf (GCN, September)
Mario Kart (GCN, this year)
Mario Party 5 (GCN, this year)
Pikmin 2 (GCN, this year)
Wario World GC (GCN, this year)
Custom Robo GC (GCN, this year)
Star Fox (GCN, release TBA)
Super Mario Advance 4 (GBA, 7/18)
Pokemon Pinball Ruby & Saphire (GBA, Summer)
Legend of Starfee 2 (GBA, September)
Mario & Luigi RPG (GBA, this year)
Note that the Star Fox title listed here is NOT Star Fox Armada from Namco; thus, there are TWO new Star Fox titles coming to the Gamecube, the latter of which is presumably from, dare I say it, Nintendo EAD. Pokemon Coliseum is most likely a new Pokemon Stadium with two-on-two support, all of the new Pokemon, moves, items, personalities, and traits, and possibly LAN/online capabilities. A new Mario Party is always fun news, and I'm THRILLED to see the inclusion of a new Mario RPG game, of which Luigi's name is in the title (however tentative that name may be). All in all a very exciting list, and it doesn't even detail all of the other great Nintendo-only releases like Rebel Strike, The Twin Snakes, and Resident Evil 4.
I just hope Pilotwings GC pops up at E3 in addition to all of this.

Also, I take it that Pokemon Colliseum is the GC follow-up to the N-64's Pokemon Stadium - would a Game Boy be needed to play Colliseum, or can you play it on it's own?

I imagine the listed Star Fox title is Star Fox Armada. 'Armada' isn't really an official name, it's just a name that game sites started using. I really REALLY doubt that Nintendo is working on another Star Fox title so soon. IGN claims it different but they don't mention how they "know" that. If they're just making an assumption based on the list that's pretty weak.
Aside from Mario RPG I'm not too surprised by any of this. The Luigi part is a little scary though. I mean has there ever been a good game with Luigi in the staring role?

Good point. The GBA has like two RPGs released a month while the Cube gets like two a year. The Cube clearly would benefit more from this title. Of course it's possible that this is a port of Super Mario RPG with a different name in which case a GBA release would make more sense.

I'm not too sure about the PokeMon Channel game, the reason I doubt it's the PokeMon Box game is
1)Nintendo just titled it, why rename it?
2)PokeMon Box is scheduled to ship at the end of the month, why would Nintendo delay something so basic?
3)The magazine already had a story of the PokeMon Box in the last issue.

It's a sequal for a game that never came out in the U.S. I doubt this one will make it either, though I hear it was a great platformer.
That second Pokemon game BETTER be more than a sequal to Hey You Pikachu, or it's gonna get really messy over at NoJ

As for Legend of Starfee, it won't make it to the US.
Pokemon Channel is the Japanese name for Pokemon Box.
Pokemon Coliseum is the Japanese name for Stadium...unless they bring the name over too this time. I like coliseum better...
And Custom Robo definately won't make it.

Actually, it might also be the long fabled "Pokemon Party" game, which has also been rumored under the name "Pichu Bros. Party Panic", maybe with Pikachu hosting a huge assortment of mini-games.

Gamefreak: Since the names of those games are their Japanese names, it's possible "Star Fox" is just the name of the Japanese version of Armada, which I'm guessing is an American title.

but i do think that intelligent systems could make it as well- they did make paper mario which was great
the mario luigi rpg could be a game based off of what paper mario was like and made by intelligent systems published by nintendo
one more option could be that square is making a new mario rpg with nintendo and it is being published by nintendo
i would hope for square, but intelligent systems making one could work as well
mario advance 4 will probably be a remake of mario 3 from the nes with updated graphics and gameplay (saving between levels, secrets)
the star fox thing is probably a typo and is probably the one made by namco
we shall see come e3

The other one indeed looks like some sort of interaction game with Pikachu and other Pokemon, where you help them put on a TV show... I have no clue.
They also have shots of the new Starfox game... one weird shot has Fox climbing out of his cockpit and taking some shots at a foe with his blaster.
E3 will certainly be interesting this year.

It's also interesting to note that the ship he's standing on is flying. You'd think the blasters IN the ship would be better for taking down aircraft.

look on the left side...It's the starters from G/S. I wonder how they are in the game when you can't get them in the R/S games

Pokemaniacs have known all of this for a while, though, and now it's only a question of how to unlock these Pokemon on your Ruby and Sapphire games. Pokemon Box, I think, may be the answer.
