A release of _Mother 3_ (it would be called _Earthbound II_ in the U.S.) on any Nintendo platform.

If they can’t do that, I’d like to see _Earthbound_ on the Virtual Console (I’ve heard there’s some copyright dispute over the music that’s preventing this one from happening).

Jeez, apparently I misunderstood the intent here. I read it as _things that you wish will never happen_. Apparently everyone else sees it as _things that you wish for, but you are sure they will never happen_.

Please rest assured that I have no genuine wish for Vin Diesel to play _Hamlet_.
