Are we sure he was that important for Sticker Star's development? Sure, he made the declaration, but that still doesn't convince me that Intelligent Systems is the main responsible of the Paper Mario fiasco.

 

He rejected their TTYD sequel and forced them to make it into something else that is without story characters etc., how is that not the most important factor?

From what I read, they did a survey at Club Nintendo24 and apparently not everyone was interested in the story, at least when they surveyed Super Paper Mario. And even the devs like Kudo agreed so it appears to be more of a collective thing. This is apparently coming from Iwata Asks so take that for what you will.
