Nintendo’s latest financial report has confirmed that we’ll be seeing a new Animal Crossing and a new Kirby iteration this year on Wii in Japan. Also on the list of 2008 Japanese releases are Wii Music, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Mario Kart and Super Mario Baseball Stadium, though those games have hidden inside the cupboard with little news available for quite some time.

We’ll have more news and updates on 2008 releases, so stay tuned.
