Codebreakers get punk'd by Nintendo.com
NOA_Rufus assembled a code puzzle at Nintendo.com, dubbed "The Luigi Code," that promised to reveal the secrets of the "Secret Society of Plumbers" to those clever enough to break the code. What could it be? A new Mario game? More Wii secrets exposed? Oh boy, it reads like an international mass market crime-thriller!
Read on if you lack the inclination to break the code on your own, or read our title and realize that doing so would be a complete waste of your time.

Reader Aaron wrote in with the solution.
Assemble all the capital letters (we could have guessed that part)
Using the cipher hidden at the bottom of the post (ABN_EHSHF=NOA_RUFUS), you can substitute the letters and reveal the real message. Alright, it's not PhD level cryptography here...
Are the Mario Bros. the real descendants of Jesus Christ? Has the Church, and Nintendo Corp., conspired to hide their identity for centuries? Nope. It says, "HOWDY PARDNERS WAY TO CRACK THE CODE BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO FIND OUT ABOUT WII WONT YOU."
Yup, I reckon we will pardner.
