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.

Ark Survival Ascended hasn’t been officially announced for Nintendo Switch 2, but there’s a good chance that a port will eventually release.

In a new interview, Studio Wildcard co-founder and development director Jeremy Stieglitz said the game is in “active development” for Nintendo’s console and it’s something the team is “currently exploring”. While it wouldn’t have been possible previously, thanks to Unreal Engine 5.7, big improvements have been made that makes the system is a more realistic target. Studio Wildcard has been on Unreal Engine 5.5, but is “already working on upgrading to Unreal Engine 5.7 and we expect to have that out by the end of March 2026.”

Stieglitz told PGamesN:
