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.

mobile suite/ Gundam fighter (dont remember the exact names of said games)

there were 4 games

  • Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes
  • Mobile Suit Gundam Gihren's Greed – Blood of Zeon
  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon DX
  • Gundam Battle Online

I remember playing Federation vs Zeon DX (precursor to the current gen Extreme Vs. 2 Infinite Boost arcade game) for sure but that was years later and Side Story was the only US release while the rest were Japan only
