Pokemon Legends Arceus vs. Legends Z-A – comparison and deciding which is better
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The Pokemon franchise has had a rocky few years, to say the least. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Scarlet, and Violet all launched with shockingly poor optimization and performance, respectively, which understandably wound up damaging the franchise’s reputation. That said, things haven’t been all bad for Pokemon – Pokemon Legends: Arceus was by far and away the best-received Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch, and despite the recent backlash towards Pokemon Legends: Z-A that has become typical for the series, it’s been received very well too.
They say comparison is the thief of joy – but that phrase is tossed out the window when it comes to video games, because comparison is the foundation of most discussion around games these days. So today, we’re comparing Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Legends: Z-A to decide which one comes out on top. We’ll be looking at three categories: gameplay, presentation, and story. Do note that we’ll be discussing story spoilers for both games, so keep that in mind before you continue.

Move over 2025 – we’re officially in the year 2026. A new year brings new hope and excitement, and that pertains to games as well.
Looking strictly at Nintendo, we actually know quite a bit about the company’s slate for 2026. Several titles have been announced to be launching over the next few months. We should be seeing Mario Tennis Fever, Pokemon Pokopia, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem: Fortune Weave, Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Splatoon Raiders. Technically that last one hasn’t been confirmed for 2026, but we’d be surprised if it was a 2027 game.
With everything that’s been announced – from Nintendo and other companies – what’s your most anticipated game of 2026? Let us know in the comments.

2025 was a huge year for Nintendo, to say the least. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Nintendo Switch 2 for what feels like a lifetime – this even dates back to 2020 and 2021 with the then-endless “Switch Pro” rumors.

Nintendo released a fair number of exclusives this year as well, including big titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, among many others. Given that 2025 is coming to an end, we figured it’s a better time than ever to take a look back at one of Nintendo’s busiest years. So today, we’re recounting Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal, its launch, and going over and reviewing every major Switch and Switch 2 game released this year.
