*These are the most visible from my eyes at least. Based on FA-level articles I read, one thing they have in common is that they integrate the parts well, so well that it feels effortless to read. So my overall take for now is that this article lists stuff more than it tells the readers what do those lists mean within the context.

::An [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transfer_Pak&oldid=1286437942 older version] of the article actually did have the list as prose, but the GA review I received felt that table formatting would be an improvement; is this closer to what you had in mind? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:45, 20 April 2026 (UTC) |

:::Well, if the content isn't too much, then yes a prose like that would be better. That's what I would normally do (and want to revise) when encountering such things, not only tables but also list-like directories. Now I understand why someone at the GA review proposed the table format because, that way, the prose would be tiring to read. |

:::The particular form I was suggesting is, the prose before the table begins by saying 'here's the complete list of all.... games that are compatible with the Transfer Pak...'. As a reader, I think it could be better if there's more than that, something that helps the readers prepare of what's next, something like a transition. My rationale is because the table is extensive, and perhaps the transition could be a mini summary of what the features have in common. After the table ends, I'd prefer if there's a transition too to the next section 'Cancelled support' but I think it could be considered optional. I think the beginning is more important.
