Mario Kart is racing to Europe this April


Just as we were starting to feel sorry for Europe, everything changed. First, folks in the oft neglected continent were told that they'd be getting Wii Fit before their American counterparts. And now, we can bet Europeans will be even more excited to know that Mario Kart Wii is releasing on April 11th. And yes, we mean April 2008.

In case you haven't been keeping up, April 11th is only one day after Japan gets the game. That sounds a lot better than 386 days, doesn't it? Europeans can also start perfecting their raspberry techniques, as a North American date for Mario Kart Wii has yet to be set.

What caused such a change of heart in Nintendo of Europe? Was it something they had for breakfast? We can't be sure, but let's hope this keeps up.
