Wi-Fi Connection and use the Wii Speak accessory to talk to Animal Crossing friends
anywhere around the world!
Wii Music, available now, lets players embrace their inner musician with more than 60
instruments from around the world and more than 50 songs. Select the instruments you
would like to play, get your family and friends involved, or play on your own. Use your
Wii Remote and Nunchuk as though you were playing real instruments. Wii Music
offers a realistic drum kit, when used with the Wii Balance Board from your copy of
Wii Fit. Mimic playing a drum kit, simply by placing the Wii Balance Board on the floor
as foot pedals, and by using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as drum sticks.
Survive nature’s most devastating catastrophes in Disaster: Day of Crisis. Disaster Day of Crisis is a panic-inducing survival game for Wii. Play your way through a
day filled with volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes – and a
terrorist organisation with its mind on revenge and the power to wreak devastation at its
fingertips.

Kirby Super Star Ultra, available 27 November on Nintendo DS sees players run, float
and fight their way through the adventure games as Kirby, gobbling up enemies as
they go. Kirby can inhale enemies and spit them out as stars, but the main game play
comes from swallowing foes and copying their abilities.

Pokémon in need, takes place in the new Almia region, where players can partner with
