The following details come from the GT.TV interview with Shigeru Miyamoto...

 - Miyamoto says Luigi has always had a special place in his heart, but hasn't always had a chance to stand out.

 - Miyamoto says that perhaps some day there will come a time where Mario and Luigi need another brother.

 - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon was created for the 3DS because Nintendo experimented with a 3D screen during development of the original Luigi's Mansion.

 - Miyamoto has been working on Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for quite some time.

 - The Pikmin 3 team is close to Miyamoto's desk, so he's able to work closely with them on a daily basis.

 - Miyamoto says Nintendo is working very hard on things for E3. We might get to see things that haven't been mentioned yet, but we'll definitely get to see things that Iwata has shown during Nintendo Direct events.

Don't Wario and Waluigi count as the third and fourth brothers?

Ah for Christ's sake, just use Wario the anti-hero. It's been done before. Making a whole new character as a way to further cast aside Wario (not to mention, Waluigi) is just unnecessary to me. And no, I'm not just saying this because of my devotion to the two, but rather that I feel Nintendo has been completely neglecting tons of characters that could easily squeeze their way into newer Mario games (Daisy being another character in mind). Don't just add more characters, make use of the ones that are nowadays barely recognized by the players, thanks to their constant (and only) appearances being in spin-offs or games that have long ago been forgotten.

As long as they make great Mario games there is no need for that. Heck, Luigi doesn´t get much attention as it is now so why pushing him even further back to the background. Since i grew up with Mario and Luigi games, i would never accept another "bro".

i wonder how they would make his back story

 

"their mother was forced to give up their brother to bowser from birth and has been locked in a dungeon all this time. the reason that they dont just kill bowser is because bowser created some sort of soul link. that means that if bowser died then their brother would dies as well. this explains why mario and luigi go to rescue the princess time and time again without saying 'screw this. iv had enough'. they are always hoping to find him on their adventure, but to no avail. thy have agreed to bowsers demands to let him and his minions in mario kart, super smash bros, and the mario party games, but he lies each and every time and does not tell. they reluctantly agree time and time again bc they jump at even the slightest chance at finding their long lost brother. to this day, their parents dead, they put up with him taking the princess just to have that slightest chance at being reunited with him."

Alfonzo the ga.y plumber. He wears pink, and his brothers have been hiding him in Peach's castle's basement because they are homophobic. The guy then breaks out of the basement and hunts down his two bros.

Or Alberto, the drug addict. After consuming too much magic mushrooms, the guy became crazy. He lurks forever in the pipes to get you. He wears orange.

I'm curious as to what sort of role this brother would play, and where his first appearance would be.

Will he get his own game from the start (and only find out at the end he's a brother), or appear in a 3D Mario game.

Maybe they want a more compelling story for the next 3D Mario and this new brother will play a big part in it.

Also think his colour would most likely be blue.

 

EDIT: Just realised that their pants are blue so I doubt his shirt will be blue.

Seeing as Wario has a yellow shirt already, I have no idea what colour this new bro. would be.
