He is called James Pond as a play on words. Like the Thames Pond. In Britain. But there are no fish in the Thames. That's the joke.

I don't hate the sailing, I hate having to use the wind waker all the time to just be able to move around. Also loses it's appeal after you beat the game once and know where everything is, makes replays just tedious.

I still like Duke, but quake and Doom MOG I hard IMO. I feel like Dukes levels play samey and if I'm going to play Duke I'll play a little bit of 3d and a little of time to kill and other Duke shit. The character is better than the games and I feel like playing doom and quake 1 feels less samey than Duke 3d. But that's just a personal preference.

Fair enough. I would agree that the sixth gen struck a more grim tone because of "enhanced realism" in graphics and the rising popularity of the medium among non-nerdy young people. But there was still room for a bit of everything. Things really got dire in 7th gen.

mallow's offensive magic is pretty solid actually, thunderbolt can carry you through areas with lots of weaker enemies and his gigashock/blizzard attacks are situationally very useful on bosses (notably yaridovich/smilax respectively).

That's how the whole world works anon.
Take the Sonic comics team as example. They not only have the rights to their original characters, but they're also trying to sue Sega all the time for characters that're remotely similar to any of their OCs. Even though their OCs include things like Sonic but green or Sonic but pink.

You're comparing commercial use arcade hardware to a mass market home console. Not criticizing the F3, but you'd hope an arcade board of that era would be more powerful than the SNES (or any other home console of the time)

Why the Saturn exclusive library is so underwhelming?

I love the N64 and PS1 but damn i have suffered so many disappointement with the Saturn

The only exclusive that i really loved was Night into dreams,amazing game

The other stuff is either mediocre (Panzer dragoon saga,Guardian heroes,Sakura wars...) or pretty good but not amazing(Dragon force, Shining force 3, Taromaru...)
