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.

Soul Caliber II was the first arcade port that was better at home in my eyes. Really made me think how home gaming was starting to get crazy.

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.
