Plus, with the looming 3DS, our best hope would be to have the whole Mother Trilogy ported to 3DS (in 3D ) or to the NDS.

It's all up to Itoi though. Remember all the rumors and possibilities for the NDS? If it does happen dont be surprised if Japan is the only one that gets it. North Americas copy right laws quit screwing everyone over.

again, I'll state that the NA copy right law is just a fan made up theory of why the games haven't been released. there is not actual merrit to these theories. and they should be treated as bunk. till said otherwise by NoA or NoJ. it really makes me mad when people state it as a fact when it's just as credible as my humans having to have a blance of happineness and sorrow related to mother games to save the world from destruction.
