Update: Nikkei’s article doesn’t actually say anything about being able to watch videos. Apologies for the confusion!

Original: Nintendo has a Mario Kart 8 web app in the works, according to a report from Japanese outlet Nikkei. It’s primarily designed for smartphones and tablets.

With the app, users will be able to watch videos uploaded from Mario Kart 8. You’ll be able to check the status of friends as well.

Tecmo Koei sure likes its collaborations. With Nintendo, for instance, the company is working to bring out Hyrule Warriors for Wii U (officially confirmed for a summer launch, by the way).

Tecmo Koei may have another large-scale collaboration in the works. CEO Yoichi Erikawa hinted during a financial results briefing that the project in question will arrive in the latter half of the fiscal year, which takes place between October 2014 and March 2015.

The new collaboration could be pretty much anything, and Erikawa did not share a single detail. However, it seems that the franchise collaboration will be released overseas as well.
