Mario Kart 8 pushes the Wii U capabilities "to their limits"

Mario Kart 8 isn't far away now, but we're hearing from the Director of the game, Kosuke Yabuki, who said that Mario Kart 8 is pushing the "Wii U's capabilities to their limits".

Yabuki continued: "Our aim was to create a game that used HD graphics and played at a smooth 60fps. We pushed Wii U's capabilities to their limits to achieve this. [But] I think it still has a lot of potential left, and I suspect there are more ways to make use of its capabilities that we haven't even imagined".
