The cover appears to mean you can evolve your partner now, judging from Prinplup.

Well, evolve your partner earlier than time/darkness did, maybe.

I also heard there will be extra adventures:

Spoiler

One involving how Wigglytuff got into the exploration buisness (back as an Igglybuff, I might add), and another explaining what happened to Grovyle and Dusknoir after dissapearing into the future at the hidden land

Seems interesting. And the gender choosing is a useful, although pretty minor, addition. I for one did get tired of having only-girl chikorita and only-male...everything else to choose as a partner.

Well, that knowledge is pretty minor if you ask me. Although, it was kind of a hassle to get the gender you want. The side quests are cool too.

Umm...I distinctly remember Time telling me the gender of my partner before I selected it. In fact, I chose Chikorita BECAUSE it was the only female option in the list. So no, this is not a new feature.

Sigh. It told you what the gender was, but you couldn't change it. As you said, Chikorita was the only female. This will let you make any of your partners whatever gender you want. Comprehend?

Although I did enjoy both Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, I would not buy this JUST because you can choose your partner's gender. It would have to have better features than this. It would have been nice if they released more information than just this but I guess give it time and they'll tell us more. One month though.
