I haven't played the 3DS game so I honestly can't say if it's good or bad. But gamers tend to compare games way more than they should imo. I have seen a lot of comments from people saying the game sucks because is not as good as the predecessors and I don't like that way of thinking. Is like Super Paper Mario, a lot of people hated the game because it was not as good as the N64 or the GC one (which imo is true) but that doesn't mean the overall game is bad or that it sucks, it's a good competent game.
