In terms of quality sure, but t the purpose of a pack in is to sell consoles.
With that in mind it has to be Tetris, Wii Sports, or one of the Mario packs.
That was the purpose back then, but we're talking about now. Looking back, what console had the best pack in games?
I feel the Saturn pack in is the only one that is close. My opinion of course. The Duo pack in list is a good variety, but slightly held back because of lack of replayability. I can replay those games now, but in the 90's I would have got bored after a few weeks.
From the Saturn pack ins, virtua cop would have been beaten in a day. Also, did the console even come with the gun? Virtua Fighter would have gotten old fast, unless you had a bunch of friends over playing it daily. Daytona USA was probably the strongest title in that list as far a single player games go, and is maybe the only title in that pack in that has proven itself over the years as a must own for the console.
Tetris obviously has unlimited replayability, but is limited to not having a diverse genre of game to choose from. It's obviously one of the best pack ins of all time. I'm not really a tetris fan, but I can see this.
The Snes pack ins I dont know. I'm a pretty firm believer that SMB 3 isn't the holy grail of game dev and design. I personally think Bonks Revenge shits all over it. I'm sure im in the minority there. SM World was a damn good pack in game. But again, there's no variety. Just a bunch of similar SMB games.
I can see why people would pick some of the other consoles as best pack in, but I also am curious if these people have actually invested time in these other games? Orr are possibly the gaming/collector type that own nothing but Nintendo. I see that a lot with collectors. They will have hundreds of nintendo games, and a dusty genesis and tg16 in the corner. Don't own a single game on the consoles other than Keith and Sonic, and just talk about how those consoles suck.
