3 Launch Titles That Saved Their Systems
Shiny new systems are all well and good but there's not much point in rushing out on launch day, if there isn't that killer game you simply must play.
With the Wii U on the horizon I thought today would be a good time to look at launch titles. Anyone who has ever bought a console on day one will know the minefield that is the launch line up. Sadly there's probably more bad than good when it comes to day one releases. Not surprising given that often developers arent given enough time to produce their best work, add to that the extra pressure of learning new hardware and you have a receipt for disappointment. That said there has still been some terrific launch titles in the past, for me three of the most important games in history are Tetris, Super Mario 64, and Halo. These three titles are special in my view because not only were they fantastic games, they may just have saved their respective systems from total failure.
