I'm fine with them "moving on" in terms of making brand new games, but I sure wish they'd localize more existing games... Shame that, when you consider that the DS has a GBA right inside. It's not like Mother is touted for it's multiplayer facets.
Problem is, even if they no longer need focus on a huge number of games on the GBA, that focus is redirected to localizing DS games now... So, we get left behind.
And, from the looks of things, Nintendo really doesn't have any intention of localizing previously unreleased games for the various emulators on the Wii, which basically is a vast hit to a lot of potential sales they would otherwise get, with VERY little overhead (just the payment for server space and localization).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
