Hmmm it seems rather odd that this is having problems yet the original snes release never did.
Nintendo never seems willing to do work and push for its true fans, Earthbound is a underground hit and regardless of what people say it would easily sell a million based on that cult hit status alone let alone new fans, They could have easily released it on the VC along with the NES version which had a trasnlation, and they could have released Mother 1+2 GBA over here and they could have released mother 3 but seem not to want too cause it would be too much work to make fans happy.

More reason to search for an SNES. I really want one.

It's nowhere near as simple as you make out William. Firstly, in respect to your last point, Nintendo's Reggie knows full well how badly fans want the game, he has said already that Nintendo will be doing everything in their power to bring the game to the US. He said so early last year.

These legal issues are not minor, there are musical tracks in the game that pay "homage" to Beatles tracks, that's not something that can be overlooked so easily. The threat of being sued by such a company could be very costly.

As I state in the OP, NoA has asked for the soundtrack to be amended, but NCL simply said no. That could be down to Itoi-sanat APE, since he holds the rights and may feel his creation would lose much of it's charm and appeal if such musical tracks were removed from the game.

This is the original link to the source article that GoNintendo have used, it explains things in greater detail. I suggest you read it before continuing to claim Nintendo does not care about making their fans happy.
