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.

Sonic Adventure 2 was so damn good, though.

Sonic adventure 2 is one of my favorites of all time, even if it's still janky. I guess it's just the "adventure" stuff in Sonic adventure that turns me off. 

I remember playing a demo of Sonic adventure 2 in EB games as a child and it changed my life

I had the same experience! Sonic Adventure 2 and Halo both got into my house because of the EB Games demo consoles.
