Nintendo has confirmed that Mario's next car racing game, Mario Kart 8, will be available on consoles in May 2014.
Our Senior Research Analyst David Gibson announced on twitter Nintendo's future plans. Mario kart 8 will be released in May 2014 at Japan, and considering the company's previous games, it's safe to assume that the game will make its worldwide debut in the same month.
The game is designed to be played with a gamepad, and a faster launch from its gamepad will encourage players to play faster without use TV.
