Mother 3 isn't the one impeded by legalities (that we know of), that's just Mother 2, and even then we're not sure about that, since its just a Starmen.net rumor.

We already got Mother 2......

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

He's talking about the potential re-release of Mother 2 (Earthbound) on the Virtual Console. Nintendo made a comment a few months ago that it would never be done due to legal issues. The game parodies a lot of different things, and Nintendo is worried they'll get sued. The reason why they could originally release the game years ago is because times are different. I believe they basically blamed the internet and how fast and widespread information gets transferred to people on it.

 

Then again, aren't there parody protection laws? I really think that if Nintendo put a little effort into it, they'd easily get a clearance for "go" on VC.

I don't think there would be parodies in the first place if there weren't.

There are.  Why do you think comedians haven't been sued into oblivion by now?

Some things are parody-able.  Some things are infringement.  Music is in particular often falls into the latter.  That song that played during the hippie fight is almost a direct rip of Johnny B. Goode in a 16bit version.
