Mario Kart fans may want to start firing up those engines, as the newest title in the franchise, Mario Kart 8, may have a confirmed release date. In a recent newsletter from Nintendo Europe, Mario Kart 8 was given a release date for the Spring of 2014.

Mario Kart 8 is an exclusive title for the Wii U, and, if this newsletter is telling the truth, we will be seeing it in store shelves before we know it.
Mario Kart 8 is available for pre-order on Amazon:
