Nintendo is unleashing an incredible line up of games and exciting new hardware across Europe as we head towards Christmas. The much-anticipated Game Boy Micro makes its debut in early November and two new colours for the million seller Nintendo DS launch on October 7.

The Nintendo games portfolio has a distinctly sports edge this season and is led by the universally-adored Mario Kart DS for Nintendo DS and Mario Smash Football for Nintendo GameCube.

Pokémon makes two entrances, with Pokémon Emerald for Game Boy Advance and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for Nintendo GameCube. In addition, there are many third party titles including Castlevania®: Dawn of Sorrow™, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Need for Speed™ Most Wanted, FIFA 06 and King Kong.
