Japan always gets the best special edition products, titles, promotions and first release dates. Yet, looks like this time it’s not going to happen. According to CVG, Mari Kart Wii will be released in Europe first, on April 11th. There have not yet been any announcements for America or Japan yet.

The game will feature its own Wii Channel where you’ll be able to check out your and your friends records, as well as ghost data. Mario Kart Wii will include the Wii Wheel, and you’ll be able to use this wheel, the classic or GameCube controller, the Wii Remote, the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to drive. And that’s not it, the game (besides featuring classic and new stages) will have an online multiplayer mode, which will be carried out via Nintendo’s Wi-Fi connection.

So far, Mario Kart Wii sounds and looks very promising. Hopefully we’ll get dates for America and Japan soon.
