Releasing in April is a way smarter move IMO. Which means Nintendo probably won't do it. BUT GODDAMNIT I HOPE THEY DO!!
I just chatted with Amazon support myself, sounds like they are pretty confident about the new Mario Kart 8 release date..
I ordered from thehut.com a UK website that are known to delivery early too!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww man, I was out today and went ahead and payed for Mario Kart at gamestop in full with some trades. I'd be really upset if it was just amazon getting and dispatching early, but I bet it'll be fixed.
I think I remember someone's store description mentioning you could make your own tracks with the gamepad. But it was only that one store that mentions it. Maybe that's the IGN news?
Thehut.com says Availability: Preorder now. Release Date: 30 May 2014
I think that was newegg, and the info came from a mario kart 8 wiki page, iirc.
Is there any way we can contact NIntendo to see if this is legit?
Can Amazon really release it before everybody else? Or would it have to be an early release date for everyone?
I was the biggest Nintendo apologist there was but damn if I'm not sour and bitter with them now. The wiiu support has been a disaster of epic proportions. It's a complete failure in my eyes. It's the only Nintendo console ive ever owned that just sits by my tv collecting dust. Pathetic.
Their decision to not make the wii an hd console and learn to develop in hd like sony and Microsoft is going to be their ultimate undoing.

“The launch date of Mario Kart 8 has not changed, ” Nintendo told IGN.

This rumor has been killed by IGN and Nintendo.
Here is your link:
Once again if Nintendo was to change the date, they would have an official announcement and would not tell IGN or any single person before then
But you think they would tell Amazon?
They on a very frequent basis tell retailers release dates and anounce new products to them before officially announcing this info to the public.But you think they would tell Amazon?
