Earthbound, itself, is highly sort after and naturally goes for quite a large sum on ebay, so releasing it for download at 800 points would be a bargain.

I also see SE being more likely to release a translated previously unreleased game than to resell their first few FFs. That's purely based upon the fact that DS and GBA sales probably would net more profit than VC titles (that's pure unbridled speculation, but I'm assuming that licensing, printing, transport, and manufacture probably leave more profit out of $30-40 than the 5-10 dollars that VC titles would net (less after they give a chunk of that to nintendo for bandwidth and the right to put their game on the VC.)
