Wait, is that a copyrighted image, combined with an irritating MIDI soundtrack?! I'm in! WOoOoOoOo!

The domain was registered in 2003. If it's indeed News and/or a Rumor, it's been well hidden.

googling the site brought up these links:

http://www.negativeworld.org/reggiebot.asp
http://www.negativeworld.org/boardreplies.asp

the first one is prolly some test coding..just messing around with javascript and asp to practice his scripting skills. Which furthers my theory on this just being a crazy test site.

but i'll keep looking.. Cool

[EDIT]- more links:
http://www.negativeworld.org/images/
http://www.negativeworld.org/sprites/

And check this out:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://negativeworld.org
the site has been almost the same ever since it was built.
And its had different quotes and titles written on the page at different times.
Doesnt look like an arg to me yet.. but i guess when i get a reply from the webmaster, we will know.

Well, if this is related to Nintendo, the only connection to "negative world" that comes to mind is the hidden level in the original Super Mario Bros.

I am constantly impressed at how much people can read into a website that basically gives you nothing.

If only people spent this much time and effort on games actually playing instead of on sites that show no indication of being an ARG. Because, you know, just because it's in News & Rumors doesn't mean that it is an ARG. Just look at the Spam thread if you don't believe me
