[Kerrinck]

Sonic Adventure, whale scene was awesome at the time.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Halo: Combat Evolved. First game I played on the Xbox, first game I played when a other friend got a Xbox, first game I bought when I had a Xbox.

 

[Stoffinator]

Mine would have to be Resistance: Fall of Man. Such a well done game for a launch title to a pricey system.

 

[Bear]

Did Sonic the Hedgehog launch with the Genesis? If so, that too.

Nope, I was kind of surprised that Sonic came out about two years after the NA launch. I didn't think it was that long afterwards.

 

[mr stroke]

mind was blown at the time

 

[Triz]

I think putting up Tetris just gave me an idea of how old I am compared to most of the posters it seems. :lol

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Condemned. Seriously underrated, at the time.

[Jaruru]

MARIO 64

 

[basic_element]

Super Mario Bros. is not a launch title. Stupid IGN made this mistake. The NES launched with R.O.B., Gyromite, Zapper and Duck Hunt in Oct. 1985.

I remember waiting the months to get SMB in March of 1986.

Anyways, favorite launch game was Ridge Racer Playstation.

 

[megashock5]

Colecovision - Donkey Kong
PlayStation - Ridge Racer
Dreamcast - Power Stone
PS2 - SSX
Wii - Wii Sports

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Sonic Adventure was the only game I had for my Dreamcast for the first 2 months I owned the system, and Soul Calibur wasn't a launch title in Europe, shame.

So it's kind of a toss up between Sonic and Halo. I don't know if I can count the hours I spent playing Halo in Single player, co-op and multi.

 

[Emitan]

Super Smash Bros Melee. I've never put so much time into one game.

 

[Neuromancer]

 

[Barrett2]

Mario 64

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lumines

 

[Cerberus]

Super Mario World

 

[Scythesurge]

It'sa me, Mario!

 

[tha_devil]

THIS.

I say we should exclude TP, since its more a gamecube title than anything else.

 

[Cep]

I do not have any.

It usually takes at least a year before consoles start churning out the stuff I wish to play.

 

[TheThunder]

Super Mario World

Awesome awesome game.

 

[.la1n]

Super Mario World absolutely no contest but I will admit I was super pumped to play mario 64 on launch day.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I guess it's Super Mario World when I got the SNES and Super Mario 64 when I got the N64. Those are the only systems I ever bought at launch.

All the other systems afterwards I waited a couple years.

Oh, and I think my Dad bought me a Gameboy when I was a little kid so Tetris is another great launch game.

 

[Schmitty]

Halo and Mario 64 are very close.

 

[kinoki]

Tie between MotorStorm and Lumines.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Here's my top three:

[lljride]

Soul Calibur for sure. The jewel in an already stellar Dreamcast lineup.

 

[JohngPR]

Super Mario World for me.

 

[Adam J.]

The Dreamcast launch had so many amazing launch games that it's hard for me to choose.

I'll go with Ready 2 Rumble. The graphics totally blew me away (loved the jiggly cartoon deformations) and it had one of the coolest final bosses.

I approve of this message

 

[intheinbetween]

Super Mario World

 

[Muffdraul]

Super Mario World. No question about it. It's the reason I'm a gamer today.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Super Mario World, Super Smash Bros Melee and F-Zero Maximum Velocity.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

My most memorable is probably Mario 64. I didn't actually own the console at launch, but I was blown away when I played the game at a preview event prior to the N64 launch and later when I got to play it at friends' houses.

Next up would probably be Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast. It was such a leap in visual quality that my friends and I would just watch the various move demonstrations in Exhibition Mode when we weren't playing.

Tekken Tag and SSX for the PS2 were also extremely impressive and memorable as games that looked remarkably better than the competition.

I didn't get a 360 at launch, but when I picked it up I have to say that Dead Rising was easily the most impressive title for the beginning of this generation just because it was so unique. This generation has, for the most part, been rather unimpressive, but that might be due to the fact that I have been heavily into PC gaming the whole time.

 

[Muffdraul]

Surprised this hasn't been pointed out already:

Space Invaders wasn't a launch title. I think the Atari VCS/2600 launch title was Combat.
