Mario and Mario Kart 3DS release dates

Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 have been given firm Japanese release dates - though there's currently no confirmation when they'll arrive in Europe and North America.

Speaking at Nintendo's pre-TGS conference, Satoru Iwata revealed that Super Mario 3D Land would be out on November 3 and Mario Kart 7 will follow on December 7.

Currently, both games have a loose November and December release window outside of Japan.

We'll hassle Nintendo of Europe for a firm release date over here as soon as they're out of bed.
