sometimes a new gaming system is only as
exciting as its software and some
systems come packed with spectacular
duds welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be taking a look at the top 10
worst launch titles of all time
number 10 night trap for Sega CD all
right you are perfect nobody’s ever done
that kicking off our countdown is the
famous full motion video game that
features scantily clad hotties and
b-movie violence I know it sounds like a
good game sadly it’s a terrible antara
fiying experience yes it’s true that
night trap has become a cult classic and
a major source of nostalgia this is due
to featuring full motion video and
laughable bad acting as well as the
ability to control hidden cameras during
a co-ed sleepover
unfortunately this game is marred by an
unforgiving vertical learning curve and
a frustrating focus on memorization and
timing number 9 cruisin USA for Nintendo
64
one of the very first games on the
Nintendo 64 it arrived as a lousy port
of a two year old arcade game heck it
was even a month late to the official
launch due to Nintendo’s trademark
censorship which removed the ability to
run down livestock even worse it
featured downgraded graphics on
Nintendo’s then insanely powerful
hardware
number eight
Mortal Kombat gold for sega dreamcast
sorry mortal kombat fans but this game
has no value whatsoever released at a
time when the series had just become
irritating this shallow fighter badly
transitioned to the third dimension and
grafted on a completely useless weapon
system the game was so bad it had the
audacity to be released twice with the
second printing of the game created
exclusively to fix its crippling bugs
and horrific load times
wins number seven Red Steel for the weak
son Oh we were promised a motion
experience that would blow our minds
complete with realistic swordplay and
what did we get a disappointingly slow
and clunky first-person shooter with
controls that would glitch out at random
this bland sword fighting game was so
bad that its sequel did a complete 180
unfortunately it kept the name forever
associating it with epic launch day
disappointment okay okay I give up did
you really have to destroy absolutely
everything number six
fighting Street for turbo graphics 16 oh
nope you didn’t hear the game wrong 1987
Street Fighter was re-released and
renamed so that it could become a quick
and easy launch title for this earlier
CD based home console a far cry from
what this series would become this
earlier entry once again featured slow
action clunky controls and jerky
movements and no you don’t actually have
to fight a street number five onslaught
of licensed kids games for the Wii
unfortunately for Nintendo the we
instantly became a breeding ground for
quick cash and game releases from day
one as a result we have a tie of several
equally terrible licensed games these
each failed to be fun or even remotely
exploit the revolutionary motion
controls of the Wii these games include
Avatar The Last Airbender Happy Feet
Spongebob Squarepants creature from the
Krusty Krab cars and the grim adventures
of Billy and Mandy
number four Donkey Kong jr. math for the
NES it’s true everyone loves the big ape
but his wife beater clad son shouldn’t
be teaching us math there are countless
better ways to launch a system than to
turn an iconic series into nothing more
than a calculator simulator thankfully
gamers didn’t need online reviews back
in 1983 to know when to steer clear of
schoolwork number three Street Fighter
the movie the game for PlayStation 1 so
let me get this straight a fantastic
video game series was given a crappy
movie which was then turned into an even
crappier video game
well it’s true the folks over at Capcom
thought it would be a great idea in the
process they replaced the series beloved
cartoon look with digitized characters
taken straight from the movie
jean-claude Van Damme did I say any more
hundred Oscar mine nah you’ve lost your
boss even worse they stripped away
everything else fans loved including its
spot-on controls and gameplay the end
result was a clunky and less violent
Mortal Kombat clone number two benjamin
cyber more the atari jaguar let’s see
how those beastly graphics into him
exactly come from 64 bits of mega power
field then we all cyber more boldly on
jaguar by atari not only a directionless
free-roaming 3d shooter this horrific
pack in title sported a very unwelcome
surprise namely it featured a green
bald-headed female computer that simply
won’t stop repeating the same thing over
and over where did you learn to fly
where did you learn to fly
number one Marky Mark and the Funky
Bunch
make my video for Sega CD yeah baby
rounding out our top 10 worst launch
titles is the only game without a single
redeeming quality starring the musical
talents of actor Mark Wahlberg this MTV
inspired title scored zero out of 10
when it arrived on Sega’s equally bad
Hardware exploiting compressed video
segments bad acting and the ability to
distort music videos this game featured
no actual gameplay if you’re a fan in
this game
