Title: Mario Kart Wii Released Early in Europe?

A neogaf poster is claiming that retailers across Germany already began selling their copies of Mario Kart Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mkwii). He's got a picture to prove at least one has been sold. The best news out of this is that the game won't just be sold in a sleeve, rather with a full case. A possible spoiler-rific thread is linked below, so proceed with caution.

Link's Crossbow Training and Wii Sports got standard cases in Europe, but cardboard envelopes in the U.S. Though, Mario Kart Wii is more of its own game and less of an added bonus to what you're really buying.

That's some really boring box art.

I think we've already had that argument.

I guess this is as good a place to ask as any: are stand-alone wheels going to be available day one?

According to GameStop, yes (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product%5FID=69639)

*Makes "what did I tell you?" gesture*

(don't bash me totally here--I think that game might actually be pretty good)

They spent all their money on the blue circle (http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/mariokart/vol1_page3.jsp)!
