After playing TTYD, really expected this one a lot (especially with the trailers showing Paper Mario was going to come back as a real RPG), I was a kid so I still enjoyed seeing a 3D Paper Mario with some great humor on 3DS, but there was definitly a big downgrade of what this serie was.
And deleting every original story element for what once was the best RPG Nintendo ever made was probably one of the mosy ununderstandable things Nintendo has ever done.
