The reason why Mario RPG was so great was because Squaresoft developed it. Nintendo doesn't want to work with them anymore, so that's why.
The Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi saga games just don't hold a candle to it in my opinion.
You are aware that Nintendo has actually worked with Square a good number of times in the last decade or so, right? Of the top of my head, Fortune Street, Mario Hoops: 3-on-3, and Mario Sports Mix are the only ones that stand out, but that's still at least three instances.
