Word has started spreading across the Internet that GameStop has been instructed to begin taking pre-orders for Mario Kart Wii and that the game will be releasing April 2, 2008.
We called several local GameStops and were able to confirm truth in this. All the stores we talked to claim that Mario Kart Wii will be releasing on April 2. Additionally, you can now pre-order the game at GameStop.
Editor's Take: It's hard to believe Mario Kart will be shipping so soon. We hardly know anything about the game. GameStop has been wrong in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised if the company's wrong again with Mario Kart Wii.
