Sure I love Mario Kart, but I just can't see myself buying it right after Smash Bros comes out. Maybe I'll get it right away if it doesn't come out until May or June, but any earlier .... I just can't see it.

Mario Kart wont come out until a while after brawl, so it doesnt matter.

Mario Kart Wii has no release date besides' Q2 2008' Which i doubt it will make because:
a) The game is clearly not ready, or else we'd see more information about it, hands on previews and more.
b) Its going to be a big hit on the Wii -- Doing what nintendo wants by breaking boundries between casuals and hardcores, so its only right to sell it towards the christmas season.

I'd buy them both if they both came out on the same day just because I haven't bought a Wii game since Mario Party and Mario Strikers. Some people, believe it or not, would prefer to play Mario Kart over Brawl (I am one of them).

Link. There has been no word from Nintendo on the exact release apart from a TBA Q2 2008 I believe.

Nintendo knows more about their game release dates than gamespot does.

Q3-Q4 launch date or even 2009. So Mario Kart will not be overshadowed

I think it's safe to say that Mario Kart for the Wii will experience many more delays before we get our hands on it. I'd expect the game sometime towards the end of the year or early next year.

The Two games could come out on the same day and it wouldnt be overshadowed

Why?

because nothing else is coming out for the wii all the wii games that are coming out are crap other than smash kart and No more heroes. Hopefully E3 will hold some great stuff for the end of this year and the beginning of next or wii will prove useless

Actually, hate me if you want, but I thought that was the most accurate review given to that game.

They just didn't do anything new in it to warrant a 9+ in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure MK won't be out near the same time as Brawl.
Not only that, but I think both games would do extremely well even if they went head to head. There's obviously alot of Brawl fans out there, but don't underestimate Mario Kart.
At this point, I'd actually consider myself more a fan of the Mario Kart series than SSB. In my circle of friends, a game of Mario Kart is a much more common choice than some SSB. That's just the way it is over here.

I would give the game a 9 not a 9.5 like most sites, but its just one of those examples where everyone was in an uproar at gamespot you know.

Did the launch of Galaxy stop you from getting excited about Brawl? Because the distance between releases will probably be the same.

Mario Kart will sell fine unless its complete crap. I'll be getting both games probably, but not when it launches.

They will be nowhere near each other, havent you noticed how much Nintendo has been spacing out thier games, due to delays and everything. Whether intentional or not, all thier big games have been spaced out by a few months at least. So to be completely honest, I dont expect to see Mario Kart until the holidays, after it gets the traditonal delay.
