Title: Console Launch Titles/Dates/Prices And Other Info Post by: Dev1anc3 on March 06, 2006, 11:05:28 PM I thought it would be cool to have this info for US consoles all in one spot. I just added a few Sega consoles, and will keep editing my first post to keep it updated. Eventually I'll add every console released in the US... hopefully.
Any info, corrections, suggestions, or additions would be zeh pwnz, but keep in mind that this is only original launch info (minus the last released game and console colors), and on the last releases, I'm not counting homebrews. Only games that were officially licensed, and sold in stores.

I won't be much help in this area, but it is great to see all of this information.
I think I noticed two errors though. I believe the last released game for the NES was Sunday Funday, and for the N64 I beleive it was Powerpuff Girls: Chemical Xtraction. Don't quote me on that though. Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: Dev1anc3 on March 09, 2006, 08:51:19 PM Thanks for the info...  I corrected it.

Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: segasimon on April 04, 2006, 08:17:24 PM How about genesis, new game coming or is out is begger prince
Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: Kevincal on April 04, 2006, 10:24:14 PM -The Jag was released in Dec. '93, but only in NY and SF I believe.  Sometime early '94 was the nationwide launch.
-I think I remember the 32X being $159.00 at launch not $179.00.  Also think DOOM and V.R. Racing were launch titles.  But not positive. -You have Defender 2000 as a launch title for the Jag CD but it's a cart game... -N64 was released in late August 1996, not late Sept. -N64 was $199.99 at launch not $299.99 Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: Dev1anc3 on April 04, 2006, 10:30:47 PM Quote How about genesis, new game coming or is out is begger prince I'm still trying to determine if this should be considered a home brew title or not. The only info I can get on how to purchase it, is to order it directly from their site. If it is seen on a store shelf, I'll list it. ...  and thanks for the corrections, they will be fixed after this post. On the 32X Launch I've heard there were NO titles available for the console until after a over week of it sitting on the shelf. I don't know if it was like this nationwide or not, so I still don't know anything for sure.

The only info I can get on how to purchase it, is to order it directly from their site. If it is seen on a store shelf, I'll list it. I would keep Frogger ans the last US relased game. Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: phoenix1967 on April 05, 2006, 07:50:24 AM I thought the Sega Genesis only came with 1 controller...
Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: Izret101 on April 05, 2006, 07:50:33 AM I concur.
Homebrews are in a category all their own. Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Post by: Tynstar on April 05, 2006, 07:55:16 AM Quote I thought the Sega Genesis only came with 1 controller... not the original version with the pack in game of Altered Beast.

I bought a 32X on launch day and remember taking it home with no games and I thought the 32X was gonna make Genesis game graphics better...lol (I was like 13 and hadn't read up on it much.) I do remember going back to the store a short time later and contemplating wether to get DOOM or Virtua Racing. I didn't even know what DOOM was back then... :o But I think you're right and no games were available for atleast a few days after the 32X launch. Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Info Post by: Dev1anc3 on July 09, 2006, 04:40:29 AM *BuMp*
I didn't want to see this thread get too lost. I know I haven't updated this list in a while, but I actually had some spare time to goof off, so I decided to add a few more consoles n' such. Title: Re: Console Launch Titles/Dates/ Prices And Other Info Post by: segarocks30 on July 09, 2006, 06:23:34 PM The PS2 came out Oct. 26, 2000 not 04.
