Why Mother 3 Won't Be Localized?

Nintendo has yet to make another F-Zero game either, likely for the very same reason. However, the biggest reason the company won't release a translated version of Mother 3 is because of how controversial the game's content could potentially be received outside of Japan.

Will Mother 3 ever be Localised?

LOCALIZE MOTHER 3! Nintendo's Mother 3, the sequel to the legendary role-playing game known in America as Earthbound, and a game sort of lost to time, was never localized for audiences outside of Japan, so it never really made it out to the west, at least officially.

Is Mother 3 Available in the US?

Take Mother 3, for example. The Earthbound sequel released exclusively in Japan on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance back in 2006. Despite frequent requests from fans, it has never been offered in any form in North America.
