The announcement does not specify whether it refers to units delivered to sellers or purchased directly by the consumer. “So many positive opinions about Mario Kart 8 reinforce the gameplay possibilities that the Wii U naturally offers”, says the president of European Nintendo Satoru Shibata . More news about Nintendo's future will be revealed at E3 2014.
The game was released on May 30th and is exclusive to the Wii U console.
