I suspect that the underwhelming announcement for Paper Mario Color Splash led to people being nostalgic for the old, RPG-style Paper Mario games.
PAPER MARIO THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR ROM PAYLOAD SERIES
In short: Miyamoto ruined the Paper Mario series by making it more generic (Plumber M rescues Princess P from villain B) and less interesting. That doesnt explain the very recent spike thats happened over the last few months. Also, all NPCs are generic Toadstool people, whereas earlier games also had common enemies as NPCs.The real issue is that Nintendo seems to view it as their new canon for the Paper Mario series, which up to that point valued good characters and interesting villains instead of Bowser, whereas the current standard is "Bowser is the bad guy", when it used to be "Bowser is the bad guy, but not the real threat", which allowed for the introduction of great villains like Grodus and Count Bleck (and lest I not forget Lord Crump).
