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!”

In the past, Nintendo was non-committal about featuring more than one controller for Wii U. Rumors indicated that technical limitations may restrict the amount of tablets the console could support. But Develop now claims that Nintendo has modified the system so that two Wii U controllers can be used at once.

Develop’s source said:

“Nintendo now know they absolutely need to support two tablets. At E3 they didn’t commit to this, but they know how important it is to make it technically feasible to support two screens. Even if that affects framerate, as a developer and player, I don’t care. It needs to work. Developers will design appropriate games for this. If you’re building a quiz game you’re not going to give a shit about the framerate.”

Two Wii U controllers is likely all we’ll get. Although four tablets is basically out of the question, players will be able to add in Wii Remotes and accessories for multiplayer action.
