Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart 8 release date confirmed for Europe

Looks as if Mario Kart 8 will launch in Europe in April of 2014.  Wordwide relase?

Misleading title! April is not a date! Nitpicking aside I believe this was posted already.



So are we getting smash before or after this?

I think Smash will be a late spring/early summer title, between June-August

I really can't take this as a legit date...

Also this comes from an European Nintendo newsletter, not American, nor Japanese Nintendo confirm this...

didnt they say the game is confirmed for Q1 2014?



Good. I'll buy wii u in 2014's holidays then



Makes sense. I originally expected mid-to-late March since Nintendo usually releases a BIG title that time each year so that the final week or two in their fiscal calendar ends strong. But April would make sense in that they could start off the NEXT fiscal year with a bang and with momentum right out of the gate.



Upcoming Games To Get

Definite: Kirby Star Allies (Switch), Mario Tennis Aces (Switch), Fire Emblem (Switch), Yoshi (Switch), Pokemon (Switch), Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4), Monster Hunter World (PS4)

Considering: Fe (Switch), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Switch), The World Ends With You (Switch), Ys VIII (Switch), Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4), Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix (PS4), The Last Guardian (PS4), Shadow of the Colossus HD (PS4), Anthem (PS4), Shenmue 3 (PS4), WiLD (PS4)

if posted, a mod can lock.  Also, I only heard spring of 2014, so I figured this was good enough to post.  I'm assuming they are going to do a simultaneous launch, but not sure.
