Sin & Punishment wasn't as text heavy as Mother 3 and I do recall that it was Treasure who were the ones who wanted to undertake the work.
If anything Nintendo would want to make this retail or 3DSWare. I do see them releasing this game eventually in English.
True, but it had voice acting, that means that years later, Nintendo still went to the effort to hire new people to record for a game that was over 6 years old if not older. i think that proves that they are willing to translate any game, no matter how old or text heavy, a text heavy game would just take a while for translation, but could still totally happen I think.
