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.

I'm sorry that I haven't payed attention about the details of these legal reasons, can you explain/define/lay out these reasons and such...

P.S. I'll come back and answer the topic after I got the mother's school lesson...

The big one stated about Earthbound on the VC was wanting to change the music for the Runaway Five since it was so close to some Blues Brothers music, which they are a parody of the Blues Brothers so it makes sense the music is similar, Nintendo's lawyers expressed how that could lead to a lawsuit, why this was okay for the SNES and not okay now it beats me, they said a there were more minor changes they wanted too but all of it was rejected by Itoi and NoJ it was either the whole product or nothing.
