Controversial elements scuppered Mother 3 western release – report
From Eurogamer: "A few years back, a western release of Mother 3 was finally on the cards. Originally launched for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, the new version was being prepped for Wii U Virtual Console, timed for the game's 10th anniversary.
This 2016 port would have been the first time Mother 3 launched in the west, where Nintendo's oddball role-playing game series is named as Earthbound and is probably still best known for its representation in Super Smash Bros."
