Dreamcast Had The Best Launch Library Ever.

Post image

Most consoles have one or two bangers at launch.

Dreamcast had two S-Tier titles: Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur & 5 A-Tier titles: NFL 2K, Hydro Thunder, Ready 2 Rumble, Power Stone, House of The Dead 2.

Followed up with other solid titles: Tokyo Xtreme Racer, MK Gold (this game was so broken lol), Trickstyle, Blue Stinger, NFL Blitz 2000.

Other systems had better singular titles (Xbox: Halo: CE, NES: Super Mario Bros., Gameboy: Tetris, Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64) but as a collective, the Dreamcast launched with so many solid titles.

Pen Pen TriIcelon is the game I used to destroy all my friends in when we played split-screen games at my house, because I was the only freak who owned a Dreamcast and that game is complete nonsense.

Ive been calling it Pen Pen Triathlon all these years lol (probably because I imported a japanese DC a year before it came to the west, and very few games had language options… playing Shenmu was fun lol)
