EA COO Peter Moore recently sat down with Famitsu to talk about all sorts of things, including the Wii U. Moore talked excitedly about the system and teased “extensive” online features for the console.

He said:

“It’s a very exciting machine and I’m glad to see it out there. I mean, a hi-def Nintendo platform! There’s nothing that could make me happier. Its online capabilities are really extensive, too, so we’ll be able to differentiate ourselves from the competition more easily with our sports lineup. We can’t announce anything yet, but what I can say is that Nintendo is a company that’s been producing new types of play culture for years. The 3DS and Wii U have taken on that DNA, so I really can’t wait to see what kind of new surprises are waiting for us.”

The latest edition of Nintendo Power contains an interview with Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno. Most of the questions focus on Mario Kart 7, but he was asked about a couple of interesting things in particular.

First, the magazine asked if Nintendo has ever considered including characters from other franchises. Nintendo Power was implying that this would be similar to Smash Bros. In any case, don’t count on a roster expansion anytime soon. Konno said, “No, we’ve never seriously considered that.”

Konno was also quizzed on a Mario Kart title for Wii U. He all but confirmed that a new game in the series will be made for the console (surprise!), explaining that he would like “to create a new and enjoyable Mario Kart that uses the unique functions of the Wii U.”

“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. Anything beyond that I have to keep secret. Please bear with me for now!”
