Well, they did cite Miiverse requests when they brought Earthbound to Eshop.

As for no reason to doubt it will come, Fatal Frame 4 didn't, and the Wii remake of Fatal Frame 2 never made it to NA. I'm not saying it won't come, but I feel I have reason to be concerned.

That's true. They may have changed their tune a bit recently. Anyway, concerned fans used similar reasons to doubt whether Fire Emblem Awakening would be localized, and although Nintendo dilly-dallied on that announcement, I was confident that it would come and in the end it did. You've just got to recognize the difference between a remake late in a console's life and a brand-new installment early in a console's life, especially a struggling console.

I really hope you are right.

Fire Emblem is a bigger franchise than Fatal Frame, but you'd think with the game droughts they are suffering it should be common sense for Nintendo to full the gaps with imports. Not to mention I doubt FF5 will make its budget back in just Japan; this isn't the Wii where production is cheap, this is HD development we're talking about. Then again, common sense hasn't been NIntendo's strong suit in the last three years...
