Mario Kart Wii, official release date March 12, 2008
Nintendo of America today made the surprising announcement that Mario Kart Wii is set for a stateside release this April. April 27 to be precise. Previously, NOA suggested that Kart Wii might arrive after the May debut of Wii Fit, but apparently that is not the case.
“Mario Kart for Wii transforms one of our most popular franchises into a race that every member of the family can enjoy,” said Cammie Dunaway, NOA’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Driving work the Wii Wheel could not be more natural, and this is one place where speeding is encouraged.”
Mario Kart Wii comes packaged with the Wii Wheel. In addition to a wide selection of new tracks and vehicles, the title features a 12-player online component and compatibility with multiple different controller configurations.

So soon after Brawl? Well, I’d better unlock everything fast!
Not just that, consecutively it’s Brawl for March, Mario Kart for April, and Wii Fit for May. Endless Ocean and No More Heroes for Jan and Feb respectively.
I’m curious what we’ll get in months following Wii Fit.
I know WiiWare should be launching sometime this month so that’ll be coo. \:D/

I wonder what killer app Nintendo has in store for us for this upcoming christmas holiday. Cause if they didn’t have another big franchise title coming, you better believe this game would be getting pushed back til closer to the holidays.
Actually, it wouldn’t surprise me to see some delays out if this.
This is a big slap in the face to all those non-believers who were questioning the Wii’s library of games… month after month after month, there is something coming out that I can’t wait to try. I’ll be playing games that are “new to me” for years, I still haven’t had a chance to check out Endless Ocean or No More Heros.
ive played endless ocean its relaxing, yet kinda…meh i didnt like no more heroes at all
Ooooo… that’s a bad date. Right at the same time as Grand Theft Auto 4. I can see a delay coming.
