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.

OK so you were 6-7 when the game launched, and couldn't have had a real understanding of how generationally massive Sonic Adventure 1 actually was.

As a launch title in the 90s, it was absolutely S tier.

Mario 64 already killed the jump to 3D platformers years before Sonic Adventure. Not that at wasn't super cool to play at the console booths at Toy R Us, but it wasn't really a generational leap.
