It will have to be a new series, I can't see Nintendo going against one of their developer's wishes for a series while they are alive or on good terms with the company.

Supposedly Itoi does not object to another developer making a new Mother game. The tricky part is that he doesn't want to be involved in development.

I read that Itoi called it impossible just a few weeks ago.

And frankly, given its relative niche and cult status I can't really imagine Nintendo putting up the effort to make a decent one. Maybe a remake of 1&2 or even 3 but a new entry into the series sounds improbable unless Earthbound did better on the VC then most classic titles do (i.e. Sin and Punishment).
