Yes, reading into this, the only place saying on rails is 1up, the same guys that thought standing up underneath a block in Mario and you being pushed out from under it is a "glitch" (watch them play NSMB Wii live)
The thing is it very well could have been mistranslated from linear to on rails, some of the other features seem to say it has to be more than just "on rails" either way just like before I'm waiting for more info and video, but this is a prime example of why people don't need to jump the gun.
If it's on rails or not people should calm down until more info is released, and even if it is on rails there's no reason to go overboard especially if it's good.
