The main issue I see is the whole profit and stuff, and just having to do all that work for, potentially nothing. The issue is that if you are a true fan of the game, you most likely were not going to wait years for a official translation of the game. Since, people will just tell you what was going to happen in the game anyways. And, people have already played Mother 3 fan-translated(True fan thing). So, I don't think people are going to be in the mood to play a translated version of a game they have already played years back.(Whenever the translated version was released, I assume quite a while back since people were tired of waiting) But, I don't know how crazy Mother-fans are, since I only played the 2nd one on a SNES Emulator myself. Good damn games, though.
