No, it does count actually... Because the very same year it was released, there were titles such as;
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Professor Layton v.s. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
Sure, there definitely wasn't any good games to win that award (there's at least three in the list above).
Plus it was the second year, so it wasn't on of "the first 3DS games" as the first year had Ocarina of Time 3D, StarFox64, Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land.
If you do not know what you are talking about, just please stop typing because you're not going to get any more than up to four people to agree with you.
Which going back to your reply to
@THEELEMENTKH , the original Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64 was turn based battles so they never really took anything away from that (it may have just evolved slightly for the worst). All Nintendo did, was try and make a portable version of a home console franchise, which sometimes portability works and other times it makes a divide. But it's not a bad game, it just is what it is.
