Mario Kart date speculation rages

Big N deny April dating

Nintendo just can't decide when Mario Kart for the Wii will be released, it would seem, the Big N denying rumours that the racer will be released in Japan this April.

We then heard further chatter suggesting that, no, Mario Kart will definitely be released in Japan come April; on the 10th, in fact. But Ninty won't reveal anything.

Online chatter from respectable sources however, claim that April 10th is indeed the date, with well-regarded Japanese weekly Famitsu set to confirm the schedule in their next issue, due out next week.

Still, with Japan not getting Mario Kart until April (at the earliest) it seems unlikely we'll be seeing it Europe or possibly even North America anytime soon, Nintendo usually preferring to space out their releases by several painful months.

We'll bring you more as we get it.
