While Miyamoto’s appearance on The Tonight Show earlier this week largely revolved around Super Mario Run, it looks like he may have been teasing something else. Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed Miyamoto’s Samurai Mario shirt. While many probably wrote this off as a simple mashup, it was Bill Trinen’s tweet yesterday that really sparked fan speculation. According to Bill, the shirt is something that needs to be “figured out”, the Nintendo rep even teasing that he knows “what’s up”. Could this be a hint towards the next Mario game? Tell us below?
Has anyone figured out what's up with Miyamoto's Samurai Mario shirt?
— Bill Trinen (@trintran) December 9, 2016
I think that might be a new power up in the next 3d Mario game
That’d be awesome!!! Mario with a sword!
I’d rather see Mario tossing shurikens instead.
That should be great for Mario and Luigi.
It would be somethin unusual but good if Mario finaly uses a sword.
Didn’t Koei Tecmo say that they were thinking about making a Mario themed Dynasty Warriors type game, due to the success of Hyrule Warriors?
Possible, it would be good to see that series again.
Shut up
Totally.
I didn’t say anything
Scroll up, and you will find a “shut up” with no clear indication of meaning/intention.

This is not the first time he’s done this- not by a long shot.
It’s annoying every time.
I know, I’m just playing it out. He does have some fairly “interesting” posting habits. It’s whatevez.
That was the fake me.
Ah yes, automated clones. BITCHES!
No
Oh come on!!!
Come on what
Nevermind. Have a Plum, 🍑.
sonicgalaxy27 is the weirdest person on this site, even weirder than bowler, and that’s saying a lot.
Why
Actually, Mario was considered before they ended up doing Zelda.
A quote from Bill “Someone completed the puzzle! The shirt is a pun.”

I don’t get it.
It’s a Japanese that I don’t get, so it was disappointing.
that lucky SoB sitting next to him.
Lol Bill’s his translator.
my statement stands.
Haha, fair enough.
It would be fun if it hinted at a time travel game (samurai setting and that western setting we saw in the NS trailer), but it’s probably just a pun like TurdFurgy said
I’m sure I’ve seen that shirt design somewhere before.
Me too I seen that before at toys R us.
Oh! I see how it is! Sonic holds a sword and he’s jumping the shark! But MARIO DOES IT AND NO ONE RAISES AN EYEBROW!?!
jk
I still doesn’t see how a feudal Mario game would work.
Even if Sammer’s Kingdom was a thing.
Well I’m not very sure about it but sure I don’t mind for a Mario samurai. But could it be a 3D Mario game with 2 players?
Mario Conquest/Fire Emblem/X-Zone?
Unless this is one of those lite handheld widget games, just give us a non-linear explorative 3D platformer in the same category as Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Star Road, The Last Impact, Banjo-Kazooie, and Banjo-Tooie.
Did anyone think about samus from metroid other m after the thumbs down to thumbs up?? Metroid Switch incoming?
It says “Ran” like the Kurosawa samurai film. And the game shown was Super Mario Run (“Super Mario Ran”).
How about just a samurai game? I know it sucks that they have to attach an existing IP to it in order to ensure it’s profitability, but this is Nintendo and Miyamoto we’re talking about, so an original IP could still work.
The issue i am having is that he looks like he could be a samurai or a shogun.. it’s hard to tell.

Ugh! Please don’t give us a game where Mario is a damn samurai! If it’s a simple power up, cool but not the entire game revolving around Mario being a samurai! It was cute back in the NES days when Mario was being a plumber, teacher, doctor, etc but now it’s just keeping a good idea from being used for a new IP.
