Super Mario 64, followed by Super Mario World.
At least, for another couple of days.

Super Mario World/FFII (FFII was at launch wasn't it or right next to launch I know I got FFII the christmas the SNES came out)
Though I'm thinking that may change when Twilight Princess and the Wii hit.

What is wrong with you people, you should be saying SOUL CALIBUR!!
I also have a very fond place in my heart for Jet Set Radio Future.

Either Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
All three 10s for their time.

Zelda has never been a launch game, iirc.Ganondorfo said:It's been a long time that zelda has been a launch game
Going from Atari to this was a ridiculous leap for me as a 10 year old.MGrant said:
I would put Mario64 up there as well as that game was also ridiculously ahead of its time.
Those are by far the best launch games I have played.
I will admit to loving Altered Beast, Halo, and Sonic Adventure 1 when those systems launched, but they were just not in the league of the mario1 and mario64.

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
Super Mario 64. **** that mediocre Halo.

Not actually that important
1990 was best Xmas ever!
No doubt I was a lucky 13y old boy:
F-ZERO with a brand new Super Famicom
(and in a couple of weeks Super Ghouls 'n Ghost and Super Mario World were also in my chubby little hands!)
It was so special, I'm sure nothing will ever compare, it holds a very special place in my heart because of the huge nostalgia attached to... beautiful memories :'-)

A three way tie between Altered Beast, Super Mario World, and Mario 64.
Altered Beast may just be in there for nostalgia's sake, being it was the first console launch I participated in. I do however remember having quite a bit of fun with it and beating it over and over and over and over and over and... yeah...
Super Mario World. Man... I think the only game to ever beat this as a launch title is the next one on my list. But shit was this thing amazing. Truly unparalleled level design, gorgeous graphics, amazing sound, tons of little extras, polish to the max. This would probably be my favorite but....
Super Mario 64. To this day I don't think there is a launch title that compares. To plop down your $260 and walk away with this back in September 1996.... Hell, I think this took up all of September AND October. I never once questioned my N64 purchase, despite being my least played system of that gen. Mario 64 was quite honestly worth a $260 purchase all on its own.
That's really it. Zelda could enter/takeover here, but we'll have to see. Even if I were getting a PS3 I don't see anything that would come close. PS1/PS2, nothing. Sega Saturn, hell no. Dreamcast had lots of Soul Calibur, but still not on the same level. So yeah, those are my answers.
