I know Modern Warfare 2 had the biggest launch in entertainment history. However, in my opnion, I think the best game launch I ever seen was Super Mario 64. I never seen so many people excited for a game like Super Mario 64.

What do you guys think?

I think MW2, but Halo Reach will be the best launch next year.

Halo 3 had the best launch of all time.

PFFT! Easly L4D1!

I liked the Gears of War 2 one.

wii sports :P...

well from a sales and profit prospective I guess...

the biggest opening for me was ssb... the first one or kirby 64

What do you mean by best?

If you mean my personal favorite, it was Smash Bros Melee. Since nearly everyone was excited for it and then we all went home and started playing the heck out of it for weeks and talking about how amazing it was. I haven't seen a 'community' do that for a game since, even stuff like Pokemon or Final Fantasy. Seems every time a game comes out, there's just the side who sits at home quietly playing it and enjoying it, then the people coming online complaining about it.

Other notable launches I could mention are the launches for Mario 3 and Dragon Quest III on the NES. Because they kind of set the standard for 'epic launches' in the future.

MGS4 So many people brough PSPs with monster hunter and MGS Portable ops that almost everyone in the store was playing online with the PSP. Sony reps were taking pictures and giving us so many gifts it was amazing.

I won a uncharted notebook, a playstation backpack, a free MGS4 guid and MGS4 bluetooth headset, a free upgrade to the special edition, a UMD carrying case, and 3 lanyards. All that for knowing my MGS history ^.^

Everyone was friendly, playing games and excited.

I think Sonic 3 on the mega-drive / genesis was a huge launch, or was it sonic 2, little kids pissing their pants in excitemnt! SONIC

my favorite was SSBB release, i was so hyped for that game, and i wasnt dissapointed
