Space Harrier II
Tommy Lasorda Baseball
Last Battle
Thunder Force II
Altered Beast
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Golden Axe

Pretty rough start! I'm always surprised to find out/remember that Sonic 1 wasn't a launch title, though IIRC it was bundled with the system at some point.

Alex Kidd was the original Sega mascot before Sonic came along, actually.

And for comparison's sake, the list of SNES launch titles:

Super Mario World
F-Zero
Pilotwings
Gradius III
SimCity

Not much better, to be honest!

yeah I've played a couple Alex Kidd games on the Master System. Most of them better than Enchanted Castle!

Mario World was enough to make it worth it.

I'd definitely take the SNES list. SMW is great, Gradius III is pretty good, F-Zero and SimCity are solid too.

On Genesis for good launch games you're looking at Ghouls n Ghosts, a one player version of Golden Axe, and the weakest of the Thunder Force games. Rest of the stuff isn't worth mentioning.

Everything on there but Gradius 3 is great (game had the worst slowdown problem ever)

Yeah that SNES launch list is pretty great in retrospect.

Genesis had better games in it's launch than 3DS had in the first 2 months.

Man I remember seeing Tommy Lasorda Baseball playing on the demo TVs at Nobody Beats the Wiz.

Or maybe that was Tony La Russa Baseball.

Kinda weird that two guys with such similar names both had Genesis baseball games in the early 90's, really.
