If rumours were rated from 1-5, with 5 practically being fact and 1 being as official as coming from the mouth of a traffic warden in a clown costume, this one would rate about a 2 at present.

But that's not to say it's not happening. According to a post over at NeoGAF from a user who spotted a translation of the contents from Japanese manga magazine CoroCoro, Paper Mario is coming to DS in July.

There's not much else in the way of details, but the game is looking like either a port or a remake of the N64's Paper Mario game. So good news if you're yet to play it as the N64 version is considered by many the best in the series. But not so good if you've already played either the original, or the re-release available to download from the Wii's Virtual Console at the moment.

Still, if it comes to DS, co-op play or new multiplayer modes could theoretically elevate the original to a whole new level of greatness.

All Nintendo would tell us this morning is the news is "purely rumour and speculation." Of course, we'll be sure to update you if this changes to: "Yay, Mario fans � it's happening!"
