Its not semantics, you said ports then included a game that is not a port.

You know what I meant.  Please do not belabor the point.  As I said, it makes this tedious.

The basic problem remains that you attempted to say you were comparing things as equals when they most certainly were not.

Yes it does, Mario Party is a video game where you play on a virtual board

Yeah.  Video games have you play on virtual things.  Do you want to make the case that Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart Live are basically the same thing because one has a real toy kart and one a virtual kart?  Of course not, because that would just be silly.

Beyond which, Mario Party is primarily about the mini-games, not the board.  It's not like we're talking about Monopoly the video game.  The board just provides the connective tissue to create a full party game out of the various mini-games.

while MK Live is an AR video game that uses a toy to function.Ignoring the AR video game part of MK Live and only calling it a toy is like ignoring the minigames of Mario Party and just calling it a board game.

Who is ignoring the AR part?  Lots of toys use other devices (usually cell phones) to add something to the toy experience.  It doesn't make it a video game.  Check out the toy aisle some time and look for toys that ask you to download an app to supplement the toy's experience.  There are plenty of them.

So include both or neither.

I did include both.

But they are most certainly not comparable.  As I said, if you were interested in an apples to apples comparison, you would have placed Mario Kart Live with Labo.

Look, I gave you a shot at treating this fairly, but it seems you're mostly interested in finding tiny pinholes to argue about.

I did not know what you meant because what you said and meant were two completely different things. You said a bunch of ports, I asked you to clarify what you mean by a bunch and you listed a non-port. Don't blame me because you didn't say what you meant.

If your argument is that Mario Kart Live is not a video game than I dont know else there is to say........because it is one.

When I said include both or neither i was talking about Octo Expansion and Isle of Armor, if you're going to use playtime to decide what to count for expansions than you have to include both or exclude both because the playtime is extremely similar.

Yes, im the one looking for tiny pinholes yet you ard the one that wants to exclude games because they dont appeal to you.
