Coming from an interview with Miyamoto...
"We have mario team in company, so we are making Super Mario 4. But Only I can say is, We just announced that game. More details will reveal later."
This is from a Korean interview. I did a Google translate and the info seemed to check out. I just don't want to say this is 100% confirmed yet. Thanks to Cat Mario for the heads up!

Apologies if this is something that has already been discussed, but wasn't Super Mario World Super Mario 4?
Or is this just some sly naming to apply greater emphasis on the inevitable 4 player?
If true, New Super Mario Brothers Mii can consider itself 100% made up for. I hope this is the 3DS Super Mario Brothers since it (apparently) isn't the Wii-U game.
E3 will surely be an interesting turn of events.
I am suspicious. This doesn't sound like something that just gets a casual mention in a Korean interview...
I'm guessing this is the new 2D side scrolling game for the 3DS? Maybe this really will be a throwback to Mario World or something. I don't know if my heart will be able to take this if it is.
yes it was. but if nintendo wants to ignore that so they can release something that plays up the SMB3 sequel angle, they will.
@gtt
Yeah, I think you're right that technically SMW is "4", but it's been so long since there's been a numbered sequel in that series... I think it's a good idea. Hopefully calling it that will mean it's better than the modern "New" Mario Bros. series.
I'm surprised Miyamoto is talking so much about unannounced games this close to E3. Usually Nintendo is completely hush-hush on all that.
@Windsor
This, except I would want SMB4 to be on Wii U in place of NSMBM.
Or have both. Dohoho.
@lotso shoes
It is SMB4. Numbers stop being relevant after "3" for most game series though. They take a turn for confusion.
If it's in the same style as NSMB then I couldn't care less.
If it's a new game, then I would be interested. I guess we'll see at E3.
Yeah Mario World was indeed called Super Mario Bros 4 in Japan. They dropped that title for the US version, but since this is coming from Japan it seems like an odd thing to call it-

Unless this is a totally different Mario 4, in which case i couldn't guess what they meant by it. With the already announced 2D Mario game for the 3DS, it seems like this could be it. Perhaps a throwback to Mario World, or some kind of sequel to it. In which case, that would be fine by me, World is my all time favorite traditional 2D Mario game.
You keep saying Super Mario Bros. 4, but it actually states Super Mario 4... and that's a different thing
If that was the case the next 3D Mario would be '5'. (SM64, SMSS, SMG, SMG2)
Exactly what I was going to say. Although this statement having been translated TWICE, it's difficult to ascertain at this point what Miyamoto is actually trying to say. I think this may be a re-imagining of Super Mario World for the 3DS in the same vein that 3D Land was a re-imagining of SMB3, but that's just my opinion.
Maybe it will follow the Smash Bros route and be on both the 3DS and Wii U?
Wario Land II was the third Wario Land game.
@setanta
Unless one considers Galaxy a subseries and G2 only counts as SM3.5.
@YoshiRider123
And there's that.
I'm just gonna assume he's referring to NSMB Mii. This doesn't sound like something he would just throw out there.
Outside Japan Super Mario World can be consider Mario Bros 4, but in Japan is Mario Bros 3, because Mario Bros 2 in Japan is different game and named different. So practically there isn't any game named Mario Bros 4.
no, in japan world is literally subtitled "super mario bros 4", mario bros 2 in japan is literally named Super Mario Bros 2. We got it as the lost levels in all stars. we got a re-skinned doki doki panic for our super mario 2 because the real mario 2 was considered too hard for american gamers.
what we know as mario 2 is "super mario usa" in japan.
Boy, E3 is going to be interesting! But that's the case every year.
So we're going to have both New Super Mario Bros. Mii and and 2D Mario for the 3DS shown at E3?
*yawns* I was hoping they would have something more exciting for E3. And I will be furious if this 2D Mario for the 3DS gets released before Animal Crossing and Paper Mario.
I'm in that camp.
That and 3D Land was more like a meta NSMB/Galaxy hybrid.
lol Virtual Boy was a toy and doesn't count guys ;P
Gotta stay tuned.

Virtual Boy was the only Nintendo console that I didn't want.
Cool I can't wait for E3 to come
