Today Nintendo announced that the 'Super Mario X' title that we reported a few days ago is not a game at all.

Rumours quickly spread the web that a new Mario title was in development after Nintendo sites reported the news that Super Mario X had appeared on Nintendo's official website. There was even a seperate 'Audio/Video' page dedicated to the game, however it was empty.

Today Nintendo announced that the game is not in development. Apparently the page was just a test for something Nintendo webcreators were working on. This would explain why it was empty.

However we have seen some pretty lame cover ups before...
