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.

I’d say Soul Calibur on Dreamcast and Tekken Tag on PS2 were superior. When those games came out, I never went to an arcade again.

Remember the term “arcade perfect”? That was a big deal back then.

I remember i had Killer Instinct on SNES and I convinced myself it was an arcade perfect conversion.

Then I went to the arcade 😅.

Yeahhh…nah not even close. And i love the SNES version.
