Well, considering that, after Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii is best selling Wii game, I'd say there's lot of reason for doing that - WiiU does not have Sports equivalent, so it really needs Mario Kart U real soon.

But they have a dozen studios that could easiy turn out an MK game; Retro's speciality is A-grade, visually stunning core titles.

Well, I am hoping it will be A grade, visually stunning title ;)

And I'd say it is core, core for their buisiness - they really need that one to get the hardware going, so I think it makes sense to throw lot of their talent on it.

But Retro's kind of talent isn't necessary for it to be successful. What they're good at is the more "hardcore" games that appeal to an audience the Wii U desperately needs to court. Nintendo has many studios that could do Mario Kart, but only one that could do a game like Metroid Prime.
