What is it about console launch titles that means they all have to be a bit mediocre? It seems like whenever a new system gets released, the creators failed to ever really test some of their new gimmicks in the real world. The sad thing is that games released close to launch have no idea that the new control method or camera will end up being a real pain in the butt.

launch title
For a new console to have a killer game available on release day, it usually takes something special. Recently a whole bunch of people got excited about a new Zelda title gracing the shelves along with the Nintendo Switch. So much so, that the game has outsold the console (at time of writing). When I think back to awesome launch titles I've played, I inevitably draw a blank. Often it's much easier to remember the disaster of a game like Lair (PS3 launch), or some shoe-horned Kinect driven abomination.
