Backloggd Showdown #5: Ready, Set, Launch!

The results are in. The top 10 launch titles as chosen by Backloggd members.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This showdowns theme is console (including handhelds) launch titles! Any launch title for any system in any region is applicable. You can find a lot of images or sites that have a bunch of titles that would apply.

This link seems to have a lot of them, including separating them by region. It's not the prettiest to look at, but if you're struggling for choices it's a good place to look.

-Write your list in the comments. You can include up to 10 games in your list. If you add more than 10, anything after 10 will be ignored. You can add less than 10 if you want, and all will be counted.

-The first 3 nominations in your list will get 2 points, all others will get 1. You can opt out of this if you want.

-Try to be as clear as possible which game you're voting for. I generally just write the answers into an Excel spreadsheet, so if your answer differs from the "common" way a game is listed it may not be immediately noticeable that it's the same game and I add it as a new entry. Some examples are: Saying just "Toy Story 2" instead of "Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!". While the latter is more popular, a game just called "Toy Story 2" exists on the Game Boy Color, so without any indication it's the console game, I'd count it as a vote for the GBC game. Resident Evil vs Resident Evil (Remake), if you just say Resident Evil it's a vote for the original. Mother 2 vs Earthbound, luckily I know these are the same game, but for cases where I might not know, it's always best to go with the commonly spelled version, or put both names.

-If you want to change a vote, don't delete your original comment as it could throw off the count. Just write a new comment saying "I want to swap X for Y"
