Konno Cooking Up Revolution Titles (and MK:DS) - Wii

As producer of both Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS, you have to respect Hideki Konno's work. In a recent interview by Game|Life, he revealed that he's been fiddling around with a cooking game for the Revolution. Don't diss it until you've seen it.

"Game|Life: What sort of controller motions intrigue you more: little ones or big ones? Do you want to make an action game where you're wildly slashing a sword or a puzzle game where you're making intricate movements?

Konno: Wow, that's a good question. We're thinking of so many different things. We're still at the stage where we're trying so many different things. We're doing things with big, expansive movements and smaller, more concise movements. It's hard to narrow it down to one over the other.

Did you see the Tokyo Game Show video? We actually have things using the movements you saw. Like the cooking game. We have this game with a big wok that you use to cook Chinese food, and it's really interesting to have the meat and vegetables frying in there, and use the controller to flip the food around without it spilling out of the pan."

Another hit with the ladies? Oh, and this quote should get you all excited for November 17:

"Game|Life: A lot of people say that the Super Nintendo version is still the best Mario Kart game ever. Do you feel that way, and do you think Mario Kart DS has finally exceeded it?

Konno: If you look at the volume of Mario Kart DS, in every aspect of the game… I think we've done it. We've surpassed Super Mario Kart."
