Amped was supposed to be out for the Xbox launch but came out around a month late and WWF Raw got pushed back several months.

 

[soundwave05]

Super NES launch (launch period) was pretty sweet too ...

Super Mario World
F-Zero
Pilotwings
Sim City
Final Fantasy II (US)
Super Ghouls N' Ghosts
Final Fight
ActRaiser
Super Castlevania IV

 

[WarPig]

The American Dreamcast launch lineup was probably the best ever. The Japanese Dreamcast launch lineup was probably the worst:

- Virtua Fighter 3 Team Battle
- Some shitty digital comic game
- That shitty Godzilla game
- Pen Pen Tri-Ice-Lon

DFS.

 

[cvxfreak]

I remember the N64's complex lineup!

Super Mario 64
Pilotwings 64

I'm TEH G3N10US!

Sega Rally 2, a game which actually got delayed into early 1999 for a rushed overhaul, rattles the assuredness of that Japanese DC launch listing.
