Nintendo Registers "Super Mario 4"

Oh god, Mario timeline discussion.

time to leave

The domain registry could be saved when they need to release their ace up their sleeve

They did say at Investor's meeting recently they are making a new 2D Mario for 3DS, and it could very well be this game... but I am hoping they get more ambitious and release it properly for their home console market... 3DS getting too much Mario already
 
Why do they register domain names that are misspelled?

They most likely registered all of these domains for exactly one reason: to prevent dubious people from claiming them. Nintendo don't want that people land on phising sites when searching for "Pokemon" or other Nintendo related stuff. They don't like bad PR for some reason.
 
Why do they register domain names that are misspelled?

Either to stop people trying to trick customers into giving their details by setting up a website that looks the same but whose domain is a popular mispelling....or because they can't spell.

One or 'tother.
 
So when a child types a letter incorrectly, they aren't lead to a virus or a porn site. Happened quite a bit years ago.
 
Desperate measures to sell the Wii U. Understandable at this point considering the current state of affairs and volatility that comes with the console. This'll get 'em buzzing.
 
Oh, God.. Please let this be a return to 2D platforming. Preferably with an art style similar to this:

Yes, please.

I'd kill for a new Super Mario game with HD 2D graphics. No 2.5D or render bullshit, give me this and nothing else.

It's really sad to see that NSMB of all franchises is Nintendo's plattformer series with the ugliest graphics.
 
Why do they register domain names that are misspelled?

Because typosquatting is a problem, and they have to protect their trademarks. Being proactive like that is the best way to do it, since you don't have to deal with all the WIPO shit.
 
this isn't anything new.

Nintendo once registered pokemongrey.com and we all thought Grey was the 3rd game only to be wrong.

This is getting a little confusing. I think we need a Zelda-style, Official Mario Timeline.

Other than the Mushroom Kingdom progressing in technology from the medieval era of Mario RPG to the steam era of Mario Kart 64 and Paper Mario to the space era of the Galaxy games, Mario's timeline is not that complex.

And besides, the timeline was reset at the end of Mario Galaxy 1.

Coming from the guy who's gets excited about ports of old games on his phone, this is somewhat amusing.
 
So when a child types a letter incorrectly, they aren't lead to a virus or a porn site. Happened quite a bit years ago.

Hell it still happens now. left4dead3.com redirects to a porn website.

I fell for that one when my friend told me they announced it and to check the website. Good thing no one was around.
 
Given that there is no Super Mario 1, Super Mario 2, or Super Mario 3, I'm puzzled as to the point of such a URL -- other than to avoid letting a squatter get it.
