Mario Kart Wii reaches 28 million in sales

Nintendo have announced that Mario Kart Wii, the 8th Mario Kart game in the series, has sold a huge 28 million copies.

It’s no surprise really as aside from Mario Kart (and the Mario franchise as well) being a huge powerhouse, Mario Kart Wii is the perfect Mario Kart (aside from Mario Kart Super Circuit in my opinion), due to being accessible to everyone and just down right fun, even if the blue shells can make things miserable.

The release of Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS on 2nd December (Europe) and 4th December (North America) should see the Mario Kart series continue it’s very successful run.

Note: I haven’t played Mario Kart 7, but out very own Daniel Pepper has and you can check out his excellent review right very soon.

Note 2: If your wondering why I said “Mario Kart Wii, the 8th Mario Kart game in the series” and not “the 6th Mario Kart game in the series*, it is because Nintendo also released two Mario Kart Arcade machines.
