Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno is interested in bringing Mario Kart to the Wii U. In an interview in the newest issue of Nintendo Power, Konno said he'd like to expand the franchise to Nintendo's new platform, but couldn't reveal much else.

"I can't get into the specifics, but I do want to create a new and enjoyable Mario Kart that uses the unique functions of the Wii U," he said. "Anything beyond that I have to keep secret. Please bear with me for now!"

Konno also debunked the idea of characters from other franchises coming to Mario Kart, saying that "we've never seriously considered that."

Finally, while we knew that Retro Studios contributed design work to Mario Kart 7, we didn't quite know the extent of its involvement. Konno revealed that the company made significant contributions to Mario Kart 7's development.

"Knowing that Retro Studios had a strong track record and a long history of creating quality products with Nintendo, I asked them to collaborate with us on aspects like course and character design," he said. "The course designers and artists at both EAD and Retro Studios worked closely together to create what I consider to be very prolific and high-quality work."IGN

I don't know why they persist with this series. It never sells, three games especially have been complete bombs, failing to sell any copies at all.

Why do you persist Nintendo?

They should just port it over to the App Store on the iPhone, and sell it for 99 cents

Shows what I know. :P

Still, it's good news.

Now, Nintendo needs to announce Retro working on a different franchise for them.

Nah, it's always a new Mario Kart. Plus Mario Kart sells like nothing else, it f*cking sells more than Call of Duty for God's sake, and it moves consoles as well. Why would they stop making them?

Nope, Zelda. They can make it open world with RPG elements so it can dominate Skyrim like all these idiots want it to.

Or perhaps a new RPG series altogether. No need to rely on existing franchises, they can always make a new one.

The way you were sarcastically ripping on it there, I thought you meant that they were making a new Mario Party. I'm happy to see I was wrong.

it will be released within the first year of launch for sure. That series has legs. Even now with Nintendo's "Nintendo Select" series (which is a program where their popular games are released at lower prices), Nintendo smartly left Mario Kart Wii out of it. It sells for $60 still after 3+ years. 28 million sold

Actually, it's bundled with all Wiis now.
And no, Nintendo won't release it until late 2013 at the earliest. Remember, they want to avoid franchise fatigue. Mario Kart 7 just came out, they're not going to release a new one so soon.
May 2014 seems to be the ideal date.

The Blue Shells are very neutered in Mario Kart 7... they aren't very annoying at all anymore.

They will be HD development slaves at best, I don't think Nintendo will allow a "Retro" Zelda.

Even when Nintendo makes new IPs, like they've been doing all this time, SW says they never make new IPs. Therefor they need to use an existing one.

I feel that with MK7 they fixed all the balancing issues, it's still MK, but it's not annoying anymore. It seems like you get back up faster after being hit, and the blue shell frequency has been lowered as well as the rubber banding.

Pretty much. It feels like a fairer Mario Kart, with a hint of random chaos, but it needs that, or it wouldn't be Mario Kart.

They defiantly should keep the gliding, and rework underwater sections to actually be different than ground driving. And fanboy fools say these games never do anything new.
