10 Best Ever Console Launch Titles In Gaming History

10. Sonic Adventure - Dreamcast

SEGA dropped the ball with the Saturn in many ways, not least of which was their failure to bring a proper Sonic game to the system. Sonic Xtreme ended up in development hell and never saw the light of day, which left a compilation of the classic Megadrive titles to pick up the slack.

As such, it was never established whether or not the blue blur could even work in 3D, which is why there was so much anticipation for Sonic Adventure.

Luckily, when the game was released alongside the Dreamcast it lived up to most of the hype. Sure, those overworld sections were more than a little boring, but that first run through Emerald Coast was more than enough to convince anybody that Sonic could be made to work in 3D.

The games that came after were a little hit and miss, but it seems like SEGA have finally managed to settle on a formula that mixes the best of both worlds. Sonic Adventure was a big first step in that process and really helped the Dreamcast to shine in those early months.
