| selnor said: WTF? On N64's launch I picked up Shadows of the empire and Waverace as well as Mario and Piot wings. there was 4 here in UK. |
I mentioned near the top I was going to use NA launches as the standard because JPN never gets much of anything at launch and Europe usually gets a bulkload of games because of the extra 4-6 months of waiting. In NA, the 64 was launched with Mario 64 and Piltowings 64 on September 29th. My post above was a mistake because Wave Race 64 was actually released Nov 5 and Shadows of the Empire was released Dec 3.
Here's some other funny tidbits.
-During N64's first year since NA launch, September 29th 1996-September 28th 1997, only 21 games were released. That's not even two games per month.
-In October 1996 and June 1997 no games were released at all.
-By the end of 1997, 41 games were released which puts 20 releases in the last three months of '97.
-33 games were released in 1997
-Out of the 41 game released through Dec 97, 30 of them had multiplayer.
