Well, Nintendo fans, join hands and thank the all-seeing benevolence of Iwata: by way of what we can only assume is some kind of stealth peace offering, Mario Kart Wii is literally trundling to European stores from April 11 2008.
Supporting all manner of control set-ups, including stupid plastic wheel, Wii remote, remote and nunchuck or even your trusty GameCube controller, Mario Kart Wii features 16 brand new tracks alongside 16 old favourites. Throw in 10 battle arenas, online racing for up to 12 simultaneous players (or four players offline), new characters and Mii support, plus - heaven help us all - motorbikes, it's looking like the unfortunate missteps of Double Dash may be but a distant memory.
Interestingly, Nintendo is also set to unveil a new Mario Kart Channel displaying rank positions from online races, as well offering the chance to share and download player Ghost Data. That's not all though - it also seems you'll be able to tell which of your friends are deep in the throes of a Mario Kart face-off and set up a room to chat in before racing commences. Plus you can observe current races before hopping in for the next round, should you so choose.
Doesn't sound bad at all. So, that's April 11 with an estimated retail price of £39.99. Vroom.

Hooray, not long to wait now!  What's more surprising is Europe (and presumably Australia) get it only one day after Japan and before the US.

Hot dang!
Great news. I'm personally looking forward to this more than Brawl and this sure will make waiting for Brawl a lot more durable for us Europeans.
Just in case you're a doubter (like myself), here's a link to the official announcement:

Nah, Nintendo knows that Europe get neglected. Dammit we only got MOH:H2 a couple of weeks ago. And we dont even HAVE a brawl release date.
So hopefully Ninty gave us a break and given us mario kart earlier.

Well Aussie's got MOH:H2 LATER ( I think ) than Europe and NO online!
And to the Americans  ...so naive 'America's the greatest so we'll get it the same time too...Because we're great!'
