https://nintendoeverything.com/mother-3-was-considered-for-western-digital-release-possibly-using-japanese-version/

While he wasn't yet in the company when the game came out, he was aware of the fandom and the passion. When the options came for digital release on 3DS/WiiU, he presented the idea to Iwata, but the JP branch ultimately decided not to. He posits it might have had something to do with the Wii U's lack of success.

Reggie doesn't work there anymore and Iwata is dead.

I'm sure it will get officially released in English someday. Maybe when there is a remake

I like it a lot but I don't see it as comparable with the 2nd. It had far less interesting moments and places.

Yeah, Earthbound is the better game. Mother 3 felt way too linear at times. Earthbound does too, but a little less so >_> Plus it has a much more comfy atmosphere lol

I think The Magypsies are the main issue with it not being released

It actually grew into more current times. Now would be better and more relevant than ever.

that's dubious

anyway, I kinda feel like there's no need to release it anyway. Anybody who's been harping on this for over a decade has already played the fan translation.

The only reason to release it at this point is for the new generations of 10 year olds to play it.

And it's not like we need nintendo to localize it so they'll start acknowledging its existence/legacy. Because they already HAVE been acknowledging its existence. It's been featured prominently in three generations of SSB games around the world, and lucas's amiibo was sold for a while.

Honestly it's been long enough that at this point I'd rather them do a remake of the game instead of spending money translating an old game to a system that doesn't even offer GBA games already.

Something similar to a Link's Awakening remake or like this fan video.
