Yes.

As of now I'd probably say it is either a Mario game or Pikmin.

EDIT: Oops! Forgot about Sonic the Hedgehog!

If i'm remembering my genesis history right, sonic wasn't released until a year or so after launch... i think the best launch game for genesis was probably golden axe or the alex kid game...but my memory is fuzzy, they may have been released a little after launch too.

edit// i'm pretty sure sonic's release was times to compete with the launch of the snes.

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

I would pick SSBM, but that came out 2 weeks after GC's launch. I expect TP to take this award though.

 

[Adagio]

Where's the Super Monkey Ball love?

YOU ALL SUCK.

 

[santouras]

There was some monkey ball love back on page 1. Its going to be TP for me in a few weeks

THAT WAS ME. I hate you. And change your "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" to 100.

 

[Tabris]

Tetris on the Gameboy.

 

[Kabouter]

PGR3.
Even if it was inferior to it's predecessor, I had fun playing that for MONTHS online and in single-player.

 

[Hunter D]

Super Mario World

Really? Ah bummer...I could have sworn it was launch but maybe that's just because it became a pack-in (it was at least a pack-in right???)

 

[Mar]

THAT WAS ME.

Haha.

I'm not sure I've ever bought a console at 'launch'... Except maybe the SNES? Yeah I think I bought that at launch. Then waited playing SMW until SF2 was released (I was never a Mario fan really).

Actually I think I bought the SegaCD at launch (yes, laugh at me if you like, worst decision ever). But I can't remember what were launch games. If any of them were Final Fight CD, Sonic CD, or Mortal Kombat. Then those would be my favourite launch games (interestingly, the only good games on the SegaCD too).

 

[bigmit3737]

Was Castlevania for the nes a lauch game?

What about Streets of Rage and Spiderman for the Sega Genesis?

 

[Walter Matthau]

Where's the Super Monkey Ball love?

YOU ALL SUCK.

I think it's the best 3rd party launch title ever if that makes you happy at all

 

[oreelios]

Mario 64

And Sonic Adventure 1 (even though I didn't get it at launch per se), just because I loved raising those cute little Chao so much. I tried to make one of each kind, though failed. I would even put one on my VMU and take it to school so I could feed it and stuff during the day. I am beyond nerdy

 

[Mr Toast]

Hmmm.

Out of:
Soul Calibur
Tekken Tag Tournament
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved


....

I'd have to say Soul Calibur. (Only bought DC, PS2, 360 at launch)

 

[neoxavean]

 

[UtadaBarkley]

TTT

 

[thetrin]

I am beyond nerdy

Dude, I sit at work and play DS in between teaching classes. I`m right up there with you.

 

[F.Be@PSG]

 

[Idioteque]

Castlevania: COTM

 

[Project Midway]

Halo

 

[jaundicejuice]

Jet Set Radio Future, but soon...

In a couple of days, I can guarantee my answer will be "Twilight Princess"

 

[Krowley]

Really? Ah bummer...I could have sworn it was launch but maybe that's just because it became a pack-in (it was at least a pack-in right???)

I think so, but i'm not positive.

 

[psy18]

SMW, SM64, TP (soon)

 

[Chû Totoro]

SM64 & Soul Calibur
TP will be the next

 

[Bad_Boy]

tekken tag.

Spoiler

tekken > *

 

[Pureauthor]

Soul Calibur

Was Advance Wars a launch game?

 

[Jiggy]

Launch date: Super Mario World*
Runner-up: Super Mario 64 DS (Yes. DS.)

Launch date plus launch window of one month: Super Smash Bros. Melee
Runner-up: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX


*Assuming Tetris didn't launch with the GB. If it did, I'd have to give that a tie.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Strangely, picturing this in my head makes me feel better How old are your students?

 

[Do The Mario]

My Top Three

Oblivion (360 PAL)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Mario 64 (N64)

 

[maxmars]

So true! Props to you for bringing it out!

I understand that it's not a game with the mass appeal of Mario 64, but it's easily one of my favourite games ever. Certainly my most played and loved N64 game, up there with OoT.

I am eager to know if Zelda TP will change that.

 

[Magicpaint]

In a couple of weeks, I can guarantee my answer will be "Twilight Princess"

.

 

[temjin]

Super Mario 64 and Blue Stinger

 

[Yoshi]

Super Mario World and Super Mario 64. Soon Zelda Twilight Princess ^^.

 

[dark_preacher]

soul caliber or fantavision, i can't decide.

 

[klee123]

Soul Calibur by a far mile.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Soul Calibur for me. TP might take over soon though.

 

[6.8]

Was Final Fantasy 2 US a launch SNES game? And Contra 3? Maybe not, but they certainly were 'launch window' so I'll vote for those.

Then it's Soul Calibur and Halo.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

PGR3. Its in-car view is by far the most immersive experience I've ever had in a video game.

 

[max-pain]

Smuggler's Run on PS2 (It was FUN!)

 

[jett]

Mario 64 wins.

 

[Zweisy1]

This one is easy..

Super Mario World. Not only the best launch game but still the best platformer ever made.

Runner ups: F-Zero, Mario 64

 

[Heidir]

Super Mario World, Mario 64 and Zelda TP.

 

[neojubei]

Soul Calibur and Mario 64. no other launch title can compete.

 

[beelzebozo]

mario 64 by a mile.
i don't think i've ever played a launch game that felt so fresh and different at the time.

 

[yilmazz]

It's gonna be Zelda for sure.. so far I'd pick Mario64.

 

[Victrix]

I pre-emptively declare Twilight Princess my favorite launch title

 

[gutter_trash]

Sonic Adventure

 

[jjasper]

Out of the ones I have gotten at launch it would be:
Mario 64>>>Super Mario World>SSX>Wave Race:BS

Or just Tetris
