Even though I didn't necessarily get the following at launch:

Super Mario Land & Tetris on Gameboy
Super Mario Advance on Gameboy Advance
Lumines & THUG2 on PSP
Uncharted on Vita

Super Mario World on SNES
Super Mario 64 on N64
Resistance on PS3
Twilight Princess on Wii
BOTW on Switch

So, they often had one or two.

 

[BootsLoader]

N64 was very good in its launch lineup but PS2 launch was by far the best as far as I remember.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Mario 64 seems to be the most common mention so far. Wonder if there's a correlation between people who enjoyed some of these launch-systems growing up and therefore have a higher standard for launch libraries compared to those who have not received consoles at launch.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Super Mario 64 - Nintendo 64
Power Stone - DreamCast
Luigi's Mansion - GameCube
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee and Halo - Xbox
Perfect Dark Zero - Xbox 360

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Super Mario Bros
Super Mario World
Super Mario 64
Soul Calibur
Halo
Zelda Twilight Princess
Zelda Breath of the Wild

Yeah I'm confused how 3+ is losing so badly.

"launch windows" would also include:

Smash Bros Melee
Oblivion
Persona 4 Golden

Seriously. And on the handheld front, Tetris.

 

[KouNaN]

Super Mario 64 and I would have said Breath of the Wild, but I've played it on the Wii U.

 

[Bernkastel]

Saturn - Virtua Fighter
Dreamcast - Soulcalibur
OG Xbox - Halo CE(Halo 2 is better though)
PS2 - Tekken Tag Tournament
Xbox 360 - PGR 3
Xbox One - Killer Instinct
Probably Jooxed can give some insight for Nintendo consoles.

 

[FStubbs]

Off the top of my head, Nintendo usually had at least one:

NES - I'm not sure if Super Mario Bros counts. It was a launch title in America but the NES had already been out for 2 years in Japan.
Gameboy - North America launched with Tetris
SNES - Super Mario World
Sega Saturn - the US launch had Panzer Dragoon
N64 - Mario 64
Xbox OG - Halo
Wii - Wii Sports and Twilight Princess
Switch - Breath of the Wild

Gamecube, Wii U did not. Interestingly, Gameboy was the only handheld that had one.

 

[Azzurri]

Halo (Xbox)
Soul Caliber (Dreamcast)
Mario64 (N64)

 

[StateofMajora]

Hmm. Luigis mansion which i appreciate more and more with time, mario 64, twilight princess (cheating, as someone already said though, gamecube ver was better as well)

Lastly even though I wasnt alive for the launch, f zero on snes.

 

[Jeeves]

If we're a little generous with our definition, I could easily say Super Smash Bros. Melee.

 

[Arachnid]

For me? None.

Halo: Combat Evolved considered by many to be pretty up there though, so that's worth mentioning.

 

[deafmedal]

Wow, before looking at the list I would have said one or two but up until this gen it's much higher. Duck Hunt, SMB, SMW, F-Zero, SimCity, SM64, THPS3, ExciteTruck, NFS Carbon... there are a bunch that I had a lot of fun with!

 

[Iced Arcade]

Halo and Mario 64.


And man I forgot Condemned Criminals and it's devs that couldn't add and fucked up everyone's gamerscores ❤

 

[Sakura]

5 I guess.
Super Mario World
Mario 64
Sonic Adventure
Halo
Breath of the Wild (kinda cheating)

If we are talking launch window then it gets much larger, but I dunno how fair that is.

 

[nordique]

Let's see for me,

Mario 64

Halo (but I got an Xbox 2 years after launch)

Zelda Breath of the Wild

Wii Sports (I'm serious haha)


Other than that, cannot think of any other "game of the generation" contenders for a console launch that I've owned.

 

[GymWolf]

Only one, Condemned1 on x360, it was legit one of my favourite game of the gen.

Also halo on OG xbox.

 

[Aidah]

Quite a few actually when looking at those lists.
