How Bad do you think a 2006 Official Translation of Mother 3 Would’ve Been?

In a past in where Nintendo didn’t care of the controversies that would stir if Mother 3 were to be released in the West and just wanted a few extra dollars to appear on their financial report, how bad do you think Mother 3’s translation would’ve been?

Also, apart from the correction of calling fan named “Fassad” closer to the more canon name of “Yokuba” and the Brawl terminology not be yet conceived, what do you think would a list of translation issues that would’ve been screwed up?

My thoughts:

-I can see Nintendo doubling down on calling Porky, “Pokey”.

-Chapter 7 would’ve been a mess.

-A bit silly, but it would be expected if Nintendo called Claus, “Klaus” and forgo the brothers anagram.

It's kinda hard... Why wouldn't Nintendo want to release it outside Japan to begin with? Perhaps something with their standards of that time? Perhaps they would have made some changes that the fans wouldn't like?

Nah the reaction to the presentation of Magypsies would be worse, with American Cancel Culture driving status seekers to attack those who don’t portray their media to the current year American bourgeoisie standard.

Although, while Nintendo has the grass-root protections of being a seen a great Japanese Gaming Corporation, the real scare would be coming from the tiny amount of people with actual power, whom could decide to hurt Nintendo’s business practices in the west because it counters with their ethics.

So it’s not really controversial for real gamers, but for those who levy power over the financial system.
