Mario Kart 8 director on the game’s YouTube upload feature
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Kosuke Yabuki has discussed Mario Kart 8’s usage of integrated YouTube support.
EDGE, speaking with the game’s director, asked what made the team decide to support sharing videos in this way, as it’s different to what we’ve seen from Nintendo in the past.
Yabuki told the magazine:
When we were preparing the automatic highlight reel feature, we wanted users to share these videos with others, not just watch them by themselves. For example, after uploading a reel to YouTube, you can re-watch the highlights of your online battle the next day in your office, or at school or even on your smartphone. It will definitely encourage people to keep playing, and may be a great way to invite others to join you for a game.
For those unaware, Mario Kart 8 allows players to watch and share highlights from their races. In addition to YouTube, videos can be shared on Miiverse.
Thanks to joclo for the tip.
