With the arrival of the Xbox Series X/S and the PlayStation 5, all eyes are on the next-generation of games and, right now, what the new hardware is offering in terms of day one gaming. So, this week we're asking: What is the best console launch game of all time?
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!
I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
It's the Capcom method:
1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.
Dreamcast
Breath of the Wild for me, but I also think that Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and Halo 1 were pretty significant. Resistance 1 for the PS3 is overlooked I feel as well.
Super mario world
You’ll laugh but I think Mario 64 left the biggest impression on me and it was the first console I got at launch. I remember a few of my friends in the neighborhood coming over after I got back home and we just played it for the whole day passing off the controller.
It might be part nostalgia but I just remember us all being “wowed” by the game unlike how we were with SNES games when we were all playing it.
Going to have to be Soul Caliber for me. Its really the first were the arcade game paled in comparison to the home version.
