Super Mario 4 domain registered by Nintendo
Although Super Mario 3D Land came out just months ago, it appears Nintendo may be readying to announce (and promote) a brand new Mario game.
Nintendo promised yet another entry to their flagship Mario series earlier this year. Describing it is as a brand new 2D game for 3DS, we reported that it should be similar to the New Super Mario Bros. series.
Although Super Mario 3D Land came out just months ago, it appears Nintendo may be readying to announce (and promote) a brand new Mario game--at least based on a new domain name registration filed by the publisher.
An IGN reader spotted "supermario4.com," which was registered on April 3rd. The URL is currently active, redirecting users to the official Nintendo website.
Super Mario 4 would be an odd name for a new Mario game, given Super Mario World was initially dubbed Super Mario Bros. 4 (at least in Japan). Of course, New Super Mario Bros did sort of press Nintendo's hand--they couldn't call this upcoming game Even Newer Super Mario Bros, could they?

I swear when I was a kid I saw in a magazine a screenshot from the yet-to-be-released Super Mario World on the yet-to-be-released SNES that was the title screen and the title was:
Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World
And then being disappointed when they dropped the SMB4 title.
I have never ever seen this screenshot again and I can't find it so either it was very elusive or I imagined it.
Still, they should have called NSMB SMB4 instead. And this would be SMB5 they're working on now.-

"Super Mario World (スーパーマリオワールド Sūpā Mario Wārudo?), subtitled Super Mario Bros. 4 for its original Japanese release" -
SMB 6, actually, because of NSMB Wii.
The "4" designation doesn't make much sense IMO. It worked for the Mega Man games but there have been way too many 2D mario games since SMB 3 came out to use that name.
Better to call it NSMB 3. Then again GTA IV and V proved that naming conventions don't have to be consistent.-
Idle Thumbs made the joke that the words "Wii", "Mario" or "Super" made games on the Wii sell a lot more, therefore a game with all those words will be a huge seller.
Then someone pointed out that "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" does have all these words and it's the system's best selling game - still asks $50 today.

Super Famicom SMW carts say SMB4 right on them http://www.solarisjapan.com/product_images/j/769/super_mario_world_superfamicom_cart__89792_zoom.jpg

I find it interesting how everything in Japan also has English words on it. You almost never see something with just Japanese characters.

Whenever I see "NSMB" I always think "NSBM" which stands for National Socialist Black Metal and is some real shit :/

3DS? Fug.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is their big fall game for 3ds. Though if that is the case, they won't be launching NSMB Mii ( the Wii U tech demo from last year) on the Wii U. You want your top tier level designers on something that you're calling the 4th Super Mario game and having another similar product launching for the Wii U would do a disservice to both games.
