Mario Kart Wii in time for Christmas?
lowercaseluke | 11:11 AM on 07.09.2007 12 comments


N-Europe has posted an article. It says this:

"Mario Kart for the Wii will be a "replacement" for Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Europe, which will sadly miss Europe this year, and it will be out early 2008 instead. However, this also means that the US will not see Mario Kart until early 2008, and they will be getting Smash Bros. Brawl in 2007. This means that Nintendo fans in both Europe and the US will have something to moan about (they'll have something to be glad about, too....but there will probably be more moaning).

Also note that at the beginning of June Patrick Nagel, Deputy Marketing Manager for Nintendo Germany, stated that Europe will see Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Kart in 2007. We have reason to believe that he really was speaking the truth then."

I'll believe it when I see it, however I can't say I'd be too disappointed to get Mario Kart instead of Smash Bros. You?

Granted Smash is big...but so is Mario Kart, something things a bit off. I can understand Europe getting a soccer title first but the kart?

I can't trust this cause they misspelled rumor! There is only ONE "U" in it!

Not in blighty there ain't. We spell things geet proper as fuck over here.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
considering GEET is not a word...um, no? Not sure what you are saying with all that made up wordness there.

I'd be very, very surprised if Mario Kart wasn't unveiled at E3 to some degree, and I'd be willing to go out on a limb and guess that it might well be further along than people expect.

As for giving it to Europe early to make up for Smash Bros., I'm dubious. Aside from that being kinder to Europe than Nintendo has ever been previously known to be, what's the point in having two games ready to ship at around the same time, but doing different language conversions on both rather than putting all the effort into one? Unless it's a ploy to get each country more hyped up about the game they haven't got yet of course...

I'm guessing "geet" was a typo for "reet". Which admittedly makes no more sense outside of the UK, but is a delightfuly nonsesical northern colloquialism nontheless.
DanGale's Destructoid Blog
Living in Europe I actually wouldn't mind. Unless Smash Bros has something so interesting that wasn't in Melee then I'll probably leave it for 6 months to a year to pick it up cheaper. I would much prefer Mario Kart.
I think this is a case of making Europe and USA jealous of each other and give them "I want that too" mentality. What with the grass being greener and all.

No typos here, Mr Houghton. 100% geordie, as in 'geet canny as owt'

OWT is not a WORD!!!
David Houghton 's Destructoid Blog
Ah! I hadn;t considered the north eat. My apologies.

Owt is a word. Sort of. But again, you have to be in the top half of England to get it.

I hope you know I kid with this "not a word thing," just my lame attempt at laughter on this tiring day.

I don't think anyone's getting Mario Kart this year.

 about me



Scientology offers a pathway to greater freedom.

While the hope for such freedom is ancient, what Scientology is doing is new. The way it is organized is new. The technologies with which it can bring about a new state of being in man are likewise new.

Because Scientology addresses man as a spiritual being, it stands completely apart from other religions which see man as a product of his environment or his genes — fixed in the limitations under which he was born.

Rather, Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life. Based upon the tradition of fifty thousand years of thinking men, it is built upon the fundamental truths of life. From these principles, exact methods by which one can improve conditions were derived; and unlike other efforts of improvement, which offered only rules by which men should live, Scientology offers real tools for use in everyday life. Thus, it does not depend upon a system of beliefs or faith. The emphasis is squarely on an exact application of its principles toward the improvement of one’s life and the world in which we live.
