SNES had Super Mario World
N64 had Super Mario 64
GCN had Rogue Squadron
Wii had Wii Sports
Gameboy had Tetris for free and Super Mario Land
Dreamcast had Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur
Xbox had Halo 1

I haven't seen any good launch titles since Xbox and Wii. Now you gotta wait months or years before a good gen-exclusive title comes out for it. What the fuck!

I looked up the Playstation launch titles and they all stink besides Rayman on the PS1 >_> I didn't know Sony always had such lackluster launches

You can play that on Wii U (which I did at first) so that doesn't count

Eh. Still a Switch launch title, and most people didn't have a Wii U anyway.

Bugsnax is literally the defining game of a generation, and the ability to play it in 8K on the PS5 makes it breathtaking.

Games like Breath of the Wild and Bugsnax don't count >_> I'm talking about games where the devs were like "Look bitch. We ain't gonna pussyfoot around! Our game is only on the newest console generation cuz it needs that power and we don't give a FUCK if we lose potential revenue from it! So either be a cool hip guy and buy the newest shit or gtfo and play your atari 2600 in your mom's basement!"

That big dick console energy is what I'm looking for. Consoles these days don't have that <_<

Believe it or not the Wii was released over 13 years ago, as such some people born since the release are old enough to post here.

I remember when they bundled launch titles. Then they took them away once we hit the PlayStation and N64 era. All we got were demo discs. Now we don't even get that. To be fair, the value of consoles now is greater than they were even last generation. They thankfully built up a decent online infrastructure where you can play games on your system. They're old gen games, but you can still play them.

But yeah, in the realm of straight up console selling launch titles? Nintendo was the last one to really pull the stops out, and it was just upscaled and repurposed old gen games.
