I said, "not for this gen" but to be honest--that's me being the optimist.  I think, more tragically, the series might just be stone dead forever.  I forget the developer's name, but he indicated that Mother 3 was the last of those games he would ever make, and Nintendo of America cares so little for gamers, that none of the trilogy will be released Stateside--which would likely, at this point, be just about the biggest audience for the series. 

Hey, when is Nintendo of America going to bring us Fatal Frame and Disaster?  Oh right, never.


The name you're looking for is Shigesato Itoi and he said he was done with the series but wouldn't mind if someone else made Mother 4.  And the potshots are kinda annoying since NoA have done their damnedest to get the series here but legal reasons keep them from doing so unless they change a few things and Itoi/NoJ won't allow it to be modified so much.

As for the Fatal Frame and Disaster potshots those are average run of the mill games not worth more than a bargain bin pick up... NoA said they would publish them if the games were polished some more. 

Yes, because Wii Music is so much better than Disaster or Fatal Frame.  I know they're "average at best" titles, but when the Wii was struggling to have anything hardcore-oriented--which is the whole time it's been out--NoA didn't help things by choosing not to publish more games.  Average run-of-the-mill games published by Nintendo still garner huge sales from Nintendo fans.  They both would have, I'm quite sure, been successful in the States, and they would have added some much needed weight to the number of hardcore titles on the system.
