More Mario Kart Wii rumors (Europe in 07, NA in 08?)

This is the second time we are hearing rumors about Mario Kart Wii popping up at E3. This time around a bit of new info comes with the rumor. As we all know, there is a portion of the North American Smash Bros. Brawl site that says the game is due out in 2007. If you visit the European page, that same portion of the site is missing. Does this mean that Brawl won’t hit Europe until 2008?

Well, that’s where this new rumor comes in. Word has it that Nintendo will be showing off Mario Kart Wii at E3, and it will be coming out this year…in Europe. Nintendo will be using Mario Kart as a replacement for the Brawl delay in Europe. North America gets Brawl in 07, Mario Kart in 08…Europe gets Kart in 07 and Brawl in 08.

This new info comes from N-Europe, and they say it came from a trusted source. This rumor started a few weeks back due to a comment from Deputy Marketing Manager for Nintendo Germany stating that Mario Kart Wii would be out in 07 in Germany. Next week should be interesting!
