I don't thnk the question is "should" they, more like "when will" they remake earthbound. This IS Nintendo we're talking about, the people who havent left ANYTHING THEY MAKE alone.

They should just port it. I wanna play!
Is it on the Virtual Console yet? I would DL it if it was. And that's never an impossibility.

Yes because I never played any of this series. I'll definitely buy if it comes out.

A fan remake could work, like Black Mesa or The Metroid 2 remake.
And maybe it'll be like both of those remakes and never see the light of day.

Found something that can raise some spirits. [http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/21/brownie-brown-interested-in-ds-version-of-mother-3/]

Regardless, this is up to Nintendo. I don't think Nintendo will want to do anything, because like all companies, they don't want to make a product if they don't believe that they'll get a profit out of it. All of their games got mediocre sales because they always made the games too late for their respective console. Not only that, but they tried releasing Earthbound in America and it had crappy sales(although it was most likely due to their awful advertising).

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it though.

Just put it on the Virtual Console. It's not on there right? I haven't checked it in a while.

Nope. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_(North_America)]
Nintendo recently seemed to be off with their third party games, they ignored Earthbound but recently put up Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. You'll probably be waiting a long time if you expect Earthbound to be on the North American VC, considering the sales it got before.
