Look, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is arguably the best kart racer out there so it\u2019s not surprising to see another racer take on a similar shape. Plus, if Final Fantasy is more your franchise versus Mario or any of the others highlighted\u00a0in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, then Chocobo GP might be your new favorite kart racer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s March 10 release date news was announced in a release date trailer on the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/N83qt0yOIPA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo UK YouTube channel<\/a>. In it, we get more details about the game, including a brief look at its story mode, some of the characters we can expect to see, and more. We also learn that similar to other kart racers, a series will consist of four races. Although Chocobo GP has its own series ready to go at launch, players can create their own, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The trailer also reveals a quick glimpse at a track we\u2019ve not seen before \u2013 you can see it around the 1:26 minute mark and it looks like a Final Fantasy spin on Mario Kart Wii&#8217;s Moo Moo Meadows. Elsewhere in the trailer, you can see the castle track <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/09\/23\/get-ready-to-race-as-final-fantasy-characters-in-chocobo-gp-for-switch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously shown in the Chocobo GP announcement trailer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Are you excited about Chocobo GP?
