It'd be nice if there'd be a compilation of the Mother series for the Wii, Wii U, or/and 3DS. I'm a huge fan of the Mother/EarthBound series.
It would be great, but it's not very likely. Nintendo of America can't re-release EarthBound because there are several references to copyrighted material in the game, and they would face lawsuits if they released the game now. But they don't want to bother with the Mother series anyway because they don't think it will sell well.

I don't think compilations will happen because Mother 2 and 3 are terribly dated games. They might look cool and have some funny plot but their gameplay is boring as hell.
That battle system is a joke.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

What's wrong with the battle system? It's simple yet it tells you everything you need to know. Mother 1's is definitely dated with the black background, but 2 and 3 have really nice colorful backgrounds that set the mood for the opponent you're fighting. It's a classic, visually pleasing design and I really like it.
I haven't played any modern RPGs though, so I don't know what a "modern" battle system would look like.

Currently, Earthbound is one of the most expensive games on the SNES, for not being all that rare. I've got my copy that I never play, but man, that game is overpriced.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

I have a cart that I play and a mint copy that stays in the box with the guide and all the other original stuff that came with it (along with even the little power to the player ads or whatever they are). It cost me around $160 I think. I also have a scratch and sniff ad from Nintendo Power.
EDIT: Holy shit, why is it so expensive now?! Are people actually paying $4,000 for it?

You're lucky getting EarthBound under about thousands of dollars.
Don't get excited yet. Nintendo did this before. They put Earthbound through the ESRB for the Wii VC and it was NEVER released.
I don't think Nintendo would release an announcement that big on Nintendo Direct and their Facebook (even making fun of themselves in the process) and then back out. I still think the ESRB one was a mistake. But if they back out now? Imagine the backlash! It would be like every game petition multiplied by the hatred against EA.
