Obviously it doesn't necessarily mean anything, but the rumors have been around long enough and Ono has said he wants to do it so I think we can take this as another new sign of a new DS game.
I thought they did this a couple years ago and nothing came of it. Though if that is already said in that article, I haven't and do not plan to read it, so yeah.
