One of the drawbacks of being a massive company with a long history and a massive amount of IP is that almost any message you publically release – no matter how innocent – could be misinterpreted or read into a little too much by fans.

That may well be the case with a tweet recently posted by Nintendo of America, which includes the words "Mario" and "Sunshine" – although it's worth pointing out that these words are separated by other words. Still, that doesn't stop the internet!

Even Mario needs a little #Summer vacation! No matter where your summer odyssey took you, we hope it was filled with sunshine! pic.twitter.com/rq5DK4XCr9 August 22, 2019

To add fuel to the fire, it was then pointed out that Nintendo has been randomly positioning fruit on its Gamescom coverage:

Could Twitter be onto something here? Why is there fruit all over the tables in Nintendo's Gamescom booth? Could we get a new Super Mario Sunshine, or is this a tease for a HD remaster of the (oft-maligned) GameCube original? Answers on a postcard, please.
