Determining future releases and letting NoA know that we freaking want the game... those aren't quite the same thing. I'd say that if poll results showed that EarthBound would make Nintendo a load of effortless money, they might do something. Either they really do hate Mother fans for no particular reason, or they just don't know that more than a few Mother fans exist in North America. With all the ineffective calling and things it sure feels like the former... So he path to take would seem to be, "Annoy Nintendo until they give up."
