That's exactly what I was thinking when he started talking about prior launch line-ups. He completely dismissed GameCube's launch, which as you describe, is arguably the strongest launch line-up a Nintendo system has ever had. All four of those games (plus Pikmin) were released by early December, in just the two or three weeks following GameCube's launch day. I'm surprised he skipped all of that and just focused on N64's one AAA launch game. To me, GameCube's lineup of those four of five games absolutely trumps Mario 64, regardless of the nostalgia some of the older folks here have of that game (me included).
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
