Loved the last two, will most likely pick this one up to complete the trifecta. I agree that they should widen their focus. Have you seen Rainfall's site lately? They've turned themselves into an amateur news site... Rather disappointing... I'd love if instead they continued to have laser focus on more titles, perhaps picking 3 at a time.
The unfortunate fact is that it's too late to ask for DS games to be brought here. It'd be like asking for Mother 3 to be released now in 2013, as opposed to 2006 when there was actually a chance. The biggest gift of Rainfall wasn't the individual games, but rather the message sent to Nintendo that their decades old policy on RPGs outside Pokemon (based on Earthbound's poor sales and a tough time getting RPGs to take off on the NES) is now outdated. People WILL buy them now, and in droves. So with that said, if Itoi's Mother related announcement is something along the lines of a Mother 1-3 collection for 3DS, here's hoping Nintendo decides to bring that over here.

"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)
