Mario Kart, Wii Fit And Smash Bros. Dated (NintendoLife)

[R.O.B.]

Deciding to get their **** into gear for once Nintendo of Europe actually made some announcements the people wanted to hear.

Mario Kart will be released on April 11th in Europe, one day after the Japanese version gets a release. The game will take the Mario Kart series onto Nintendo Wi-Fi for the second time (Mario Kart DS being the first to feature online play). Including in this iteration of the game will be motorbikes aswell as karts and also stunts.

We're a little bit sceptical over this early release date for Mario Kart Wii seeing as some recent screenshots didn't really show off the game in it's best possible light.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is likely to be a summer hit with Nintendo penning in the release date as June 8th for probably the most anticipated Wii game this year.

Wii Fit has also been confirmed for 25th April (just two weeks after Mario Kart) by Eurogamer.net, however we're still waiting for the official line from Nintendo on this one. We'll keep you updated.

I can't see Wii Fit appearing so soon after Mario Kart Wii. More likely Wii Fit will appear a month after Mario Kart or Smash Brothers so as to space them more evenly to match our spending requirements. After all they are the three big hitters for the first half of '08 and I can see all of them flying off the shelves. Good news on the Mario Kart release date though - if it's true.

Update: According to CVG the Super Brothers Brawl release date is bull which probably means the others are too. Which is exactly what I was expecting.
