Nintendo never liked their franchise being made into a turn-based RPG and I don't think Square would want to retro-create a new game for the company at this point anyway. |
Square has evolved beyond wanting to use other franchises for their hits? Kingdom Hearts doesn't exist, or...?
And Nintendo loves their turn-based Mario now, so I don't agree with you anywhere on this.

plus square doesn't actually make good jrpgs anymore |
SMRPG wasn't just Mario thrown into an RPG; it was tailored around him and was innovative at the time.
Square makes fine games.
