I stand behind the message of this thread. People are trying to argue saying that Mario 64 or whatever is a broken game by today's standards? What the fuck!? At the time, most of the launch games mentioned were fucking mindblowing and felt like something from the future. "By today's standards", EVERY launch game that pushed the envelope would be flawed!
Halo, Soul Calibur, Mario 64, F-Zero, Call of Duty 2 (I think was a launch game) Ridge Racer--these games raised the bar on day one. Until fairly recently, most consoles launched with at least one "must have" AAA title. Meanwhile, I'm trying to make myself get excited enough to want to buy a PS4 or Xbox One and what I see on shelves just isn't doing it. Maybe EVERYBODY (including Wii U) launched before they were ready.
