Two of Nintendo's biggest 2008 titles will launch within two weeks of each other for PAL gamers; the wait for Brawl goes on without a date.
Nintendo has announced that Mario Kart Wii will be coming to Europe on April 11th, to be followed by the release of Wii Fit just two weeks later on April 25th.
Widely considered to be two of the most crucial first party Wii titles launching in Western territories during 2008, both games will ship with additional hardware. Mario Kart Wii, with its packed-in Wii Wheel, has been given an estimated retail price of £38/€50. Wii Fit has yet to be assigned a price point, but the package is expected to retail for significantly more than €50 due to the sophistication of the Wii Balance Board peripheral around which the game is based.
In the midst of these major announcements, reports of a June 6th release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl have been refuted by Nintendo UK. Speaking to CVG, Nintendo dismissed that date as the product of "pure rumour and speculation", emphasising again that no announcement regarding a European launch for Brawl has been made.
