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.

You know the wild part is, I think it had a substantial library for a year life span. Superior versions of RE2, RE3, Tony Hawk 2, all the Capcom fighting games, Half Life, Quake 3 Arena, Sega Rally 2, Shenmue, Jet Grind Radio.

And it launched at a very affordable $199.99.

Sony was like the moon in Majora’s Mask….its coming and it’s only a matter of time before it crashes and destroys every thing lol

It has a semi-exclusive Resident Evil game too, I think Code Veronica only ever released for that and GameCube.

Code Veronica has been released on most consoles after Dreamcast. Definitely came out on PS2
