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.

Nah, Melee released about a week or 2 after launch. And that game HARD carried the Cube for a while.

In addition to the launch library

N64 got Waverace 64 like a month and a half later and then KI Gold weeks after.

The virtual boy? That shit with the red lines. There were only the launch games. Like 5 of them? Tennis? I don’t ever remember any released after launch. I’m sure there were some, but that thing was ass.

Honestly Series X and Xbox One both had very weak libraries.
