Paper Mario coming to DS in July?

A remake of the N64 title Paper Mario will soon be appearing on the Nintendo DS, if Japanese internet retailers are to be believed.

Ruliweb.com currently lists Paper Mario DS on its website, stamped with a July 2008 release.

We've tried contacting Nintendo UK for some sort of statement on whether this is true or not, but there seems to be no one around. We're imagining they've seen the buzz surrounding Wii Fit and are now swimming in a pool full of gold coins, ala Scrooge McDuck.

Incidentally, and to make that well-worn analogy new and fresh again, did you know that Forbes voted Scrooge McDuck last year's richest fictional character, with a net value of 28.8 billion?

Erm, yes. Paper Mario DS, then. A fantastic game for the N64. Might be coming to DS. No other details yet. But we're looking into it.

I was wishing for a Paper Mario DS. Even if it were a remake!

Oh, god, I hope this is true. Paper Mario DS... Awesome.
