The animals are cross

One game that I'm really looking forward to, and one that looks set to continue the DS's rich vein of gaming form, is Animal Crossing Wild World. This DS version of the quirkily unique Gamecube game is out in the US at the end of the year, which means sometime in the next 12 months for lucky old Europe. I've not managed to have a go yet - Nintendo review code is always the hardest to get, probably because it's more expensive to produce promo copies on their formats - but I am worryingly optimistic. Some of the fansites - watch out for spoilers - have been playing the game, and things look promising for another DS must-have.
