It seems that the studio, formed by Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, has been dissolved as of June 30. The site will no longer be accessible on July 31.

Last month, Takashi Tezuka said that the White Tanooki Suit would be available in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Famitsu has a reconfirmation of this fact in its latest issue.
Dying in a level five times will bring about the Assist Block. Hit the block and you’ll be provided the Invincibility Leaf, granting you the White Tanooki Suit.
Other power-ups reconfirmed in Famitsu include the Mega Mushroom and Mini Mushroom. These items will have the same functions as in previous games.
