Forums - Gaming - Best Launch Titles

What are your best launch titles, and in what order?

 1. Wii Sports - Best launch title ever IMO. Not quite a complete game, but it effectively demonstrated what the Wii is about and what it is capable of, moreso than any game that has been released since. A unique and innovative system seller.

2. Super Mario 64 - This game sold me on the 64, and would have to rank as my favourite game of all time. Aside from its all round excellence, it was a perfect demonstration of the analogue stick and it set the bar for subsequent 3D platformers.

3. Halo - For me, Halo was the best game on the Xbox, eclipsing its succesor. Not quite as innovative as the above titles, Halo was nevertheless very impressive, with killer AI, huge environments, furious action and a finely balanced combat system. The Xbox owes much of its success to this excellent launch title.

Honourable mentions: Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt.

Super Mario 64.

A great AAA game. Nintendo needs to make games like that again.

Super mario 64 all the way

After seeing the commercial of the game on TV that many years ago i couldnt stop thinking about it



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Twisted Metal Black!



Halo was a luanch title?

Anyhow, I would go with Super mario 64 DS, and the N64 version.

For shooters resistance.

Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

[Insert launch-title Super Mario game here]



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
