That links to the full story, in a nutshell, as of July 3rd 2007, forces have teamed up to increase the translation efforts. If Nintendo doesn't release the game, at least fans of the series will still, soon, have a shot at playing it =)

That would explain why it's been taking FOREVER to get the translation done. I've been checking mother3.org every week for months waiting for the translation to be done.

I hope to hell they finish this soon then get on to Mother 1&2 as well. Then I can have all of them to play on my DS
