Forums - Gaming Discussion - the best launch gave ever?

What do you think was the very best launch gave to have ever graced a console?

The very best here is subjective, i.e., you could base your post around saying the game pushed the most hardware or the game was incredibly revolutionary.

Some games that come to mind off the top of my head: tetris for the gameboy, super mario bros. for the nes, super mario world for the snes, mario 64 for N64, wii sports...

Sorry, I don't know what the launch games were on the Playstation consoles nor the xboxes...

I still have to think about which one I would pick....



Around the Network

ill say the best launch game ever is Mario 64



What else could it be besides Super Mario Bros?
It saved the video game industry after the Video Game crash of 1983 and got people interested in video games again.



Currently Playing: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Predictions:

Super Mario Galaxy will pass Super Mario 64 in total sales CORRECT!

hum i'll say halo for XB was a reason why MS is still in the war today.....



hum mario wasn't at launch :) except in USA



Around the Network

Halo, it's what sold the Xbox, and is still selling the Xbox 360



Qualitatively, I'd say Mario 64. But in terms of generating interest, Wii Sports.



Mario 64, would be my pick... i still love that game.



SM64 or Halo.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Super Mario 64.

(If this were US only, I would say SMB.)



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
