Sinds de Super Nintendo zijn alle Nintendo fans (en stiekem ook mensen daarbuiten) fan van Mario Kart. Velen hebben het getracht na te doen, maar met Mario Kart DS toonde Nintendo nog maar eens aan hoe het echt moet.
Een Revolution versie lijkt nu ook al in de maak te zijn. Hideko Konno, grote man achter het succes van Mario Kart, sprak hierover, net als over de controller van de Revolution.
quote:
Nintendo Power: What do you like most about the Revolution controller?
Hideki Konno: We're doing a lot of experiments right now with the Revolution controller and obviously with the direct pointing device (DPD) and its ability to track movement and distance. You know, that's huge, because that's a brand-new thing that we've never seen before in any controller. Trying to envision all the different things we could do with that motion sensor, that DPD, is a little mind-boggling.
Nintendo Power: Where do you think the Mario Kart series can go from here?
Hideki Konno: As you know, Mario Kart has appeared on all of Nintendo's platforms so far, and I think it's done its job on the DS, or at least I hope it will with what's new. So the next logical step, of course, is the Revolution. Really what we hope to do is continue to bring new and creative things to the franchise that appeal not only to our established user base, but also bring new people into the game.
