Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno has strongly suggested the franchise will make an appearance on Nintendo's upcoming Revolution console.Gameshout.com has posted a short snippet taken from an interview with Konno in the latest issue of Nintendo Power magazine, in which the producer gives his opinion on the new controller and the future of the Mario Kart series.
Konno points out the Mario Kart franchise has appeared on every Nintendo platform so far (well, at least since the SNES/Super Famicom) and the "next logical step" is a move to the Revolution:
NP: Where do you think the Mario Kart series can go from here?
Konno: As you know, Mario Kart has appeared on all of Nintendo's platforms so far, and I think it's done its job on the DS, or at least I hope it will with what's new. So the next logical step, of course, is the Revolution. Really what we hope to do is continue to bring new and creative things to the franchise that appeal not only to our established user base, but also bring new people into the game.
