“Mario Kart Wii transforms one of our most popular franchises into a race that every member of the family can join,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Driving with the Wii Wheel could not be more natural, and this is one place where speeding is encouraged.”

The game will be released on the 11th of April in Europe.

Nintendo have thrown down the gauntlet by choosing to release Mario Kart Wii on the 27th of April in the US. With Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV due out for the PS3 and 360 on the 29th of April, most publishers have quite deliberately chosen not to release games during that week.

Care to place a wager on which title will take the spotlight?
