After all the wait the first game of 1997, Mario Kart was shipped on February 10. Mario Kart was originaly intended to be released on February 17, but Nintendo instead decided to ship it a week early. While the game was shipped on February 10, it doesn't mean it will be in the store that day. Expect to see the game in stores anywhere from Tuesday through Thursday. For those of you who have not prepurchased the game and still want it when it comes out should try to arrive at stores that do not presell the games when the store opens. Also a good thing would be to call local stores daily for the next couple of days to see if they have recieved their copies already. Many stores such as the ones I have spoken to will not know about the arrival of the game until it actually arrives there. Oddly enough it is true, because many stores are left in the dark about the arrival of new Nintendo games. Why this is done is still uncertain but it hurts Nintendo, the stores and the customers because the consumers loose faith in the arrivals of the games. Just be certain to continuously check your local stores to guarentee your copy. I will also post a review of the game as soon as the store calls me about my copy coming in. If you already have the game I would be greatful if you could send in a review of the game or any other game you have. Please email them to me as soon as you can.
