@HenHiro Splatoon hasn't got a game in 5 years, has got new weapons, stages, an expansion of Salmon Run, a completely new story mode and tons of details yet to be announced. FIFA is released every year and adds no new ideas other than updated teams.
@link3710 @Salnax Thanks for replying. I did think about data compression but I wasn't sure by how much it would have improved in 5 years. And I definitely should have considered updates.
If the file size is smaller, does that mean Splatoon 3 has less content than 2? (I know this is a really stupid question, I just wonder if anyone here can explain why it is as it is)
Can kinda understand why some people love it but I never used it. Bought my 3DS in the first place to play the games on it, not for its graphics performance.
Since when was "escapism" considered a dirty word by some people? How is a thing that improves your overall mental health and mood in what feels like an increasingly bleak time something to be frowned upon? Video games are a great source of comfort for me (and I'm sure many others) these days, and I hope sceptics start to realise this in the near future.
"After a near-identical showing in Kirby's Adventure, Whispy returned in 1995’s Kirby's Dream Land 2, this time sporting false glasses and a face mask in order to try and distract Kirby from the inevitable beatdown."
@Joeynator3000 A bit harsh if you consider that Nintendo fix joy-con drift for free. Note: I am NOT defending Nintendo; their treatment of the issue is undoubtedly shocking but it COULD be worse
I've FINALLY fixed my joy cons, so planning mario party superstars with my family for the first time. Also facing waterblight ganon and 100%ing Mario Galaxy (even the luigi bit).
@MegaVel91 That is by all means true but I feel this game has got excessively penalised for its flaws. Yes, technical issues are hard to ignore but I haven't really seen many people ask for multiplayer. And despite this being the Pokemon game that finally shakes up the formula with new mechanics, gives a large Pokemon selection, adds an interesting chapter to Pokemon lore, is open-world and pleases the majority of fans, these virtues seem to have been taken more lightly than in other reviews.
In conclusion, I'm not asking for Pokemon Legends: Arceus to be 10/10, just to be rated and judged fairly alongside poth entries in its series and others.
These jokes are just a mite on the political side imo. It seems more interested in grabbing (in)fame and attention with shocking, even upsetting jokes (as diegoarthur said) rather than providing a good gaming experience.

There's just something magical about the different worlds of Mario Odyssey (their designs, inhabitants, enemies and captures...) for me.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #92 - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
@Zeropulse I agree, if they had used maybe a shadow of the Master Sword in the light instead of the actual thing, that would have been so much cooler.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #92 - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
idk why but I really hate the fact there are two swords on the Japan box.

@Joeynator3000 It hasn't happened to me. But if you are right, then you do make a valid point.

Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Arceus - One Of The Greatest Pokémon Games Ever Made
How has "one of the best Pokemon games ever" got a 9/10? Something is quite wrong with this rating system.
