IT wasn't released on the Game Boy Color or Virtual Boy lawlz (Every console since SNES)
I said
major console.
GameBoy color...well that's just the GameBoy with color. The next major handheld console, I am sure many would agree, was the GameBoy Advance.
Anyway..... the average time between each Japanese release of the 3DS is 1172.5 days
Therefore, as an average-based estimate... the release date of MK7 in Japan was December 1, 2011.
Ass 1172.5 days (i.e. 1172 or 1173), and you get mid-February 2015.
In otherwords, don't expect anything any earlier than about Spring 2014.
Yeah right!
But I respectfully disagree. Mario Kart for the Wii U will be released in 2013, or in spring 2014 at the latest.
You guys have to remember that Mario Kart Wii sold over 32 million (!!!) copies! It's the second bestselling Wii game, ever, after Wii Sports.
Nintendo is anxious (almost desperate) for the Wii U to be a huge success. So of course they are already working on a Mario Kart title for this new console. It won't be a launch title, but it will be released within the 1 1/2 years following the Wii U launch.
