Lock if old, nothing came up with search.

At its last investor's presentation in January, Nintendo announced it was working on a new 2D Mario adventure game. Outside of a release date prior to April 2013, no further details were given by company president Satoru Iwata. However just days ago, Nintendo registered a domain for 'supermario4.com'.

The publisher isn't attempting to hide this registry. A quick search shows that Nintendo of America controls the domain, and typing in the address will actually redirect to Nintendo's website. It's important to keep in mind that the registry doesn't directly indicate the presence of a product - companies tie up URLs all the time - but it could mean something.

Of course, while our immediate suspicions point towards this being the 2D 3DS game, it could be something else entirely - a Wii U launch title, perhaps?

Most likely the 2D 3DS Mario. I hope this means they're dropping the "New" artstyle.

 

[Thoraxes]

Shit just got real.

 

[Riposte]

There already is a Super Mario 4

 

[5amshift]

Oooooh boy, about time.

 

[Orayn]

E3, Nintendo. Impress me.

 

[botty]

It will sell.

 

[Wario64]

[Reversed]

Buuut...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

 

[IllumiNate]

Most likely for the Wii-U

 

[jonno394]

I hope the 3DS Mario is not a "new super mario bros" title, I don't think having that and a wii U NSMB title in the same year would bode well.

A true sequel to Super Mario 3 / World (with big maps filled with secrets) would be immense.

 

[def sim]

I can see this being a launch title for the WiiU since the name carries some considerable weight. At least to the hardcore fans.

 

[Linkhero1]

Can't wait for E3. Please be 2D, please be 2D, please be 2D...,

Spoiler

please be 2D

 

[Wazzim]

Super Mario as in...SMB4?


Hype.

Hype crushed.

 

[Merovin]

Shit just got real.

I could not have said it better myself.

 

[Ranger X]

Shit, I knew that Super Mario World wasn't Super Mario 4. After all this years I will FINALLY win that argument with my old friends.

/ doesn't read thread

 

[frankie_baby]

but wasnt world called 4 in japan?

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Wasn't SMW Mario 4?

 

[TreIII]

...Wherever this lands...I'll be there.

 

[cws]

3DS/WiiU Multi ?

 

[Banana Kid]

Super Mario Bros. 4: Episode 1

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

If this is for the 3DS then yay.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Hopefully it carries the same prestige and brilliance of the original titles just like Sega did with Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Super Mario 4

 

[QisTopTier]

So mario 64 was actually mario 6? oh my

 

[ffdgh]

a mix of SMW and SMB3 would be awesome.

 

[Dylan]

What did they register Super Mario for?

Spoiler

sorry

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The best thing about this generation is domain registration becoming legitimate news.

 

[Ragus]

My body is ready.

 

[MasterShotgun]

If this implies what I hope it implies...

 

[MeBecomingI]

Shocking... they just keep pumping them out.

 

[GotchaForce]

Super Mario 4-U
Super Mario 4-Mii

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So basically NSMB is the Code Veronica of the series.

 

[GaussTek]

And I want Super Mario World 3:

Hehe...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

level design by retro and HD 2D art by good-feel


lol that won't happen and now you're all going to cry about it now that I've given you the idea

 

[Frost_Ace]

GIMME.

 

[QisTopTier]

I want to just say that if this is legit sequel to mario 3 I want to say it's all thanks to me saying mario 3 is my favorite game in every nintendo survey like a jackass

 

[poodpick]

Maybe it's a 3D remake of world for the 3ds? Miyamoto was interested in remaking snes titles right?

 

[jbueno]

HYPE HYPE HYPE.

 

[Ranger X]

What if it's a 2.5d remake on 3DS?

I would buy that shit day one.

 

[funkystudent]

oh good. A 4th super mario game.


FINALLY.

 

[QisTopTier]

What if it's a 2.5d remake on 3DS?

I would buy that shit day one.

3d classics mario world?

 

[Talladega Knight]

SHIT

JUST

GOT

REAL

 

[Shadow Hog]

Hate to be that guy, but I kind of doubt a SMB4 (disregarding that in Japan, World is SMB4) would be fundamentally different from the New Super Mario Bros. series.

 

[olimpia84]

Give me SMW as a 3D classic and I'll be more than happy

 

[The Faceless Master]

no Luigi?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

level design by retro and HD 2D art by good-feel


lol that won't happen and now you're all going to cry about it now that I've given you the idea

Good-Feel's too busy making terrible games based on C-tier Nintendo franchises.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Just like Sonic the Hedgehog 4!

 

[scy]

What is up with non-sequential numbering of sequels?! Damn it all...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

here's hoping that naming it 4 means that they finally recognize the superiority of 3 over the middling World
