Mario Kart 8 manages to push the “Wii U’s capabilities to their limits”, director Kosuke Yabuki has said. Still, Yabuki believes that the console “has a lot of potential left, and I suspect there are more ways to make use of its capabilities that we haven’t even imagined.”

Yabuki shared these remarks while speaking with EDGE this month. His full comments can be found below, which came about when asked how he thinks the team pushed the Wii U hardware.

This month’s issue of CoroCoro has leaked, but it sadly doesn’t contain any screenshots or additional news about Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. However, the magazine does promise new content for its June issue, which will be available on June 14. I imagine we’ll be seeing some of CoroCoro’s reveals at E3 next month as well.
