This article explains how a lack of an interesting story or characters handicapped Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and why a good story is so important to RPGs as a genre.

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
If this is about Paper Jam, then shouldn't that be reflected in the title? Saying Mario RPG problem is too broad a statement.
If it's about the whole series then the guy is waaay off base. The MArio RPGs are some of the most entertaining games I've ever played, especially from a writing perspective.
Even Paper Jam has its moments, the stuff with the two peaches bemoaning getting kidnapped again was great. Actually the series portrayal of Princess peach on the whole has been fantastic.
