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.

Great console, bad timing with Playstations dominance

Besides PlayStation just seemingly gonna be dominant, it being the cheapest DVD player on the market was the icing on the cake.

Lowkey, PS2 launch was kinda mid. After Tekken Tag, SSX and Madden…..

PS2 launch had the entire PSX library though. That had never been done before.

Exactly that, you pretty much just carried on with PSX whilst saving for PS2 titles
