Update: Nintendo has refuted the Amazon statement and has said, “the launch date of Mario Kart 8 has not changed.”
A number of gamers on the NeoGAF forums are reporting that Amazon has begun sending out emails stating that Mario Kart 8 is coming sometime before May 30th. The retailer says that we should expect the game between April 16 and April 19. This has led many to believe that Nintendo has pushed the game forward to sometime next month. Amazon support also sound confident of a new date.
Thanks, Retrogaminglord

Well that’s actually pretty cool. I like good Nintendo news!
waiting for the official response…because I went to the Nintendo World store website and they have it schedule for the 30th of may.
It’s already been confirmed last month when Nintendo announced it.
nvm
Amazon sells Pokemon yellow for the same price as 2 ps3’s……
Is there any proof?? Or do we have to wait and see??
It’s not amazon, it is those with PmYellow that think their item is antique.
Lmao, an antique?? Pokemon hasn’t even celebrated their 20th lol….
They sell it at that price if it is new and sealed.. aka for collectors not actually playing.
OH YEAH.
Every one yell at the same time APRIL FOOLS!!! this would be big news and I think the word would have spread long b4 now.
its another week (and a bit) before that.
Not even April yet….
Wii U is the “Pauly Shore” of gaming.
You’re “Andy Dick” of trolls.
I love you too amazon
Amen.
Now if only they started selling and shipping Nintendo hardware again! *pouts*
I hope this means that Nintendo isn’t rushing the game and just happened to finish the game ahead of schedule.
yeah, or even put many extra people to work on it.
when has nintendo ever rushed a game?
YES NINTENDO YES AND THEN RELEASE SOMETHING IN MAY OOOOOOOH MY!
maybe bayonette 2 for may
Sadly, that is up to Platinum Games, and don’t think they could work on it any faster than they currently are.
Nintendo needs to push this game before Wach Dogs! Thats why.
exactly what I thought.
Watch dogs releases on my birthday hurray
Yes please!! Maybe that also means Smash will be an earlier release and they just don’t want them to be close together?

Maybe it’s just a glitch in their system….. the website now says the release date is March 10th, 2014. Wonder what’s going on.
March 10th? So it came out already? lol.
That’s what it said!! Oh, and you either have a new imposter or it’s part of your find me thing. He says he’s in the U.K, but this one has your mii down.
If so, that’s pretty cool. The sooner I get my hands on some Mario Kart, the better! :D
Rainbow road is going to be hell
Rainbow road was madness on MK Wii. I can only imagine how it will be on Wii U.
especially with four players.. it was impossible to see anything x_x
hooray for HD graphics :D
Can’t wait.
It will be….. BEAUTIFUL. ._.
I can’t wait to drive down the Kaaaart Track from Hell!!!
If this is true then there will probably be a direct in early April explaining the situation.
And if there’s a Direct, then we’re getting a Smash Bros newcomer.
That would be so cool. Waiting for my Mario Kart fix.
Official MK8 site still says its releasing on May 30th http://mariokart8.nintendo.com
I highly doubt this is true.
I hope this is true. I bet nintendo put the mk8 date close to e3 to promote it one last time with footage at the show but they can just make a quick reel of wii u games and just say it on stage that mk8 is out as well as have playable demos on the show floor. Its interesting that every store ive been too except gamestop has the may release date on flyers but every other store like walmart best buy target and kmart have posters that just say spring 2014.
If this does happen I’m going to have a huge backlog of games because I just bought AC IV, Lego Marvel Superheroes, MH3U, and I still have Zombi U and Sonic Lost World to beat. I bought all of those games so I could keep myself busy until May 30th, but if MK8 comes out earlier, I’ll just be playing that…
To add to the list we also have target and new egg saying 5/30 release. Since the official MK8 site lists this , “it’s all but official” doesn’t seem to fit. It’s official and will be unofficial only if the big N says so.
The release date was also in the February Nintendo Direct.
nvm
NOOOOOOO PLEASE DONT RELEASE IT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! NOOOOOOO :@
Weird, because mine says I’m receiving mine June 2nd, and I had one day shipping too.
That would be the smartest thing Nintendo’s done in ages…. seriously… there are no games to play on WIi U (if you have owned it since the beginning and have finished all the ones that have slowly been released) and I am sure the game is already finished, they are just waiting for release day.
Might as well release it now so people have something to play!
As of yet, I have received no emails regarding early delivery.
This makes me wonder. The developers must be doing some last minute stuff to finish MK8, so why not release it when it’s done instead of waiting until the end of May?
Pingback: Amazon suggests that mario kart 8 is now coming before may 30th
Unfortunately I think Amazon has made a mistake here as Amazon USA says it was released in March and Amazon UK and Nintendo’s own site still say May 30th
Looks like Amazon have changed the date back to 30th May
I knew it !!!!
I can’t wait!!
Amazon USA still says May 30… whatever
Man that Bites amazon was wrong it’s still May 30th :(
This would be the correct thing to do as In the uk Easter is as big as Christmas but Nintendo are confirming that may 30th is the correct uk release date.
