In terms of influence on its genre DQ3 is more important to the development of JPRGs than SMB3 was to the development of platformers. Full stop. SMB3 is probably the more popular game overall, obviously, but in terms of genre importance, there were a lot of platformers on the NES, including SMB1 and 2 different SMB2s.
Strongly disagree, but the fact that there's a probably in the sentence stating that SMB3 was more popular than DQ3 also reads like the former is being undersold quite heavily.
I think I agree with the statement that NES don't really need a RPG rep.
