Nintendo is a very busy company. After cleverly going around supposed rumors of a new DS version in the works, their European division announced the lineup of games and merchandise which would be available in the next period. Some very interesting goodies, which reflect the company's bet on the big sales during the winter holiday period.

One of the major titles announced in this lineup is Wii Music. It aims to simulate not just the four instruments of a band, like its rivals, Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but will also employ the Wiimote and the Nunchuk to reproduce more than 60 musical instruments. You will be able to play a classical instrument, like the violin, or jump straight into modern times and play the drums or the guitar. Other interesting games are Disaster: Day of Crisis or Animal Crossing: Let's go to the city. But here's the full list.
