I'm definitely voting for 1986. 1995 has Full Throttle! He's dumb. My birth year pretty much sucked from a games standpoint, but it is the one year other than 1985 that I think most gamers inherently know was the release year for a particular system, because it's one that's almost as influential as the NES. And that, of course, would be 1989. Nintendo may get repeatedly beaten senseless by its rivals in the console market, but smartphones are the best rival they've ever had in the handheld market. The Game Boy was probably the best thing they've ever done, and it's kind of telling that their current console is a full-fledged console-portable hybrid, with its predecessor also having a hybrid between a regular controller and a tablet. As for the assertion that 1985-1987 was SFF: Makes sense. It's quite frequent that a console's launch year is actually fairly weak on quality games for it; 1996 and 2001 seem to be the exceptions. (Oh, and I guess 1991 is the SNES's launch year, right? Though the Genesis, which had already been out for a couple of years, shares that load. Look at 1995. Strong year, but entirely because of the SNES--the PS1 launch library was atrocious.) 1987 had the launches of a number of classic franchises, essentially the defining year of the NES. --- FC 5026-4424-6331 -- Native Vivillon type: Polar Still need Marine, Sun, Icy Snow, Monsoon, River, and Jungle ...
