The magipsies would have been a problem in 2006. They would still be a problem today but for different reasons. They would have to censor them, but that would also change the story.
In 2025 it would be a much bigger issue than it would have been in 2006. I speculate that the Tingle games on the DS (Zelda spinoffs) didn't get released by NoA for similar reasoning; they would have been socially problematic and had the potential to harm the brand image which wouldn't have been worth it for a minor game featuring an obscure character. Mother 3 was probably in the same boat + the copyright issues and the late release date. Remember that NoA is the same company that forced things like censoring religious symbolism in Castlevania, they don't want to risk offending anyone.
