Hot on the heels of announcing a December release date for Animal Crossing: Lets Go to the City earlier on Thursday, Nintendo UK's revealed the company's entire European Autumn/Winter release schedule for its Wii and DS systems, and it’s a mammoth list.
Highlights include Wii Music, which will be out in the UK on November 14, almost a full month after its US release, and a week ahead of a new Pokémon Ranger title for DS in the form of Shadows of Almia.
Disaster: Day of Crisis for Wii and Professor Layton and the Curious Village for DS will be launching on October 24.
There should be a little something in there for everyone, with titles from a range of different genres on offer. Check out the full lineup below.

Personally I'd like to see which games are being delivered via WiiWare.
Quantity is definitely NOT quality, but like you say, at least there are some good games in there and another plus is that the 3rd party support is ramping up.
There is so much crap in here obscuring the good games, it hurts my eyes!!!
