Nintendo has registered a new Internet domain. Does this mean a new Mario project is in the works?

The company registered the domain supermario4.com on April 3. Right now, the page is not active, and links back to the region select screen of Nintendo's main page.

It's possible that this registration means nothing. Companies register domains related to their intellectual properties all the time, to prevent other individuals or companies from "squatting" on the domain. However, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata did say that the company was working on another side-scrolling Mario game for the 3DS in the company's January announcement of its third-quarter fiscal results.

Why didn't you just put this in my thread or just tell me about it? The news is pretty old now.

It could very well he a return of Super Mario. Nintendo used the Donkey Kong Country brand again. It would make perfect sense for Nintendo to title NewSuperMario: WiiU as Super Mario 4. Nintendo could do a ton with the original brand.

Nintendo knows their is a lot of strength in brand recognition. I wouldn't put it past them to reboot the original brand maybe include the first three on the disc as a special edition. Nintendo will do good with a reboot that or they could choose to continue the New Super Mario Bros brand on WiiU!

It means nothing...

or it means that Rol's post count for per day will double in three months time.
