What Was the Final Game Released on Each System?

[Anthony1]

Ok, first off, here are the qualifiers:


1. I'm only talking about the U.S. Market

2. I'm talking about retail releases that were sent to a wide variety of retail locations. Like K-Mart, Toys R Us etc, etc.

3. Prototypes, bootlegs and all that type of stuff are excluded. Like the Dreamcast stuff that appears now. It has to be a game that was published by a real publisher, and released to the normal array of retail locations. It can't be a game that was just sold at a website or whatever.



Basically, what I'm talking about, is what were the last "REAL" game that were released for any system. Also if you could please provide the month and year that the game came out. You can of course guesstimate, the month as long as you are within a couple of months, give or take.


I would love to start this off, by giving one that I know off hand, but I actually have no clue. I'm sure some of you guys will rattle some off really quickly though.

Also, you can definitely list the final game for any system out there, but I'm most interested in the final game for these systems: NES, TurboGrafx-16 (Hu card), Genny, SNES, Sega CD, 32X, Jaguar (cart), 3DO, Saturn.

[Kid Fenris]

The only one that I can remember on the spot is Magic Knight Rayearth, the Saturn's last U.S. release. I think it hit shelves in November of 1998. It was originally scheduled to come out in 1996, but there was, well, a delay. A long delay.

[Classicgamesdepot]

I believe it was wario's woods for nes

[Mr-E_MaN]

I believe it was wario's woods for nes

I believe that Wario's Woods is the last official game for the NES. There was an unlicenced game released after Wario's Woods... Can't remember the name though.

[Half Japanese]

I always thought Alfred Chicken was the last NES game released, but then again I'm a moron.

The last Dreamcast game was NHL 2k2 and it was released February 2002.

Other than that I have nothing.

[Drexel923]

According to IGN the last game for the N64 was Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction.

[Flack]

I believe Powerpuff Girls (Chemical X-Traction) was the last official release for the N64. It came out just before Christmas of 2001 if I remember correctly. There was also a Razor scooter game that came out at the same time, but it was released straight to rental.

Flack

[SoulBlazer]

Now, I thought the VERY last US N64 release was Activision's Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, in the summer of 2002.

Which seems confirmed by this release data:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/n64/data/32884.html

I also want to say the last SNES release was Sim City 2000 in 1998, but I might be wrong.

your right about tony hawk 3, many people forget this game, since it was released way after, power puff girls

[can_dude]

I remember vividly that Tony Hawk 3 WAS the last game to come out...I was working at gamestop at the time. June 2002

[can_dude]

I believe the last game for the SNES was NHL 98...could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's it...that would be September 1997

[can_dude]

you beat me by 30 seconds slipdeath! :D

[nildem]

Wasn't the last Jaguar game Iron Soldier 2 in December 1997?

The last Genesis game was Frogger in 1998, published by Majesco as the only original game released with the Genesis 3.

The last Game Gear game was Super Battletank, also published by Majesco in 2001 as part of the Game Gear budget re-release.

I THINK the last Nuon game was Space Invaders XL in June 2001, published by VM Labs.

[vincewy]

Other systems I know, Virtual Boy - Tetris 3D

BTW, Virtual Boy is a system that Nintendo would like to forget, you have to look very hard to find the 2 words in the website.

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/oldergames.jsp

According to the website, the last SNES game is Zoop, in Jan 2000 by Majesco, but before that, the 2 last releases are Kirby's Dreamland, Arkanoid, Space Invader and Timon and Pumbaa back in Nov 1997, NHL 98 in Dec 97, and NHL 98 in March 98, most done by THQ.

[Raedon]

Joe, I own a copy of NHL '98 for the Genesis. It's release date is at least a year after 3/4/95

[digitalpress]

You're definitely right about that. I'm sure even Madden '98 and NBA Live '98 came out after that DATE. I'm wondering if my date for Frogger is wrong, because IIRC it was the last one released. If anyone can confirm the Genny release date for Frogger, please post it here. In the meantime I've made the change on my side.

[digitalpress]

Ah, here we go.

http://codes.ign.com/objects/492/492586.html

06/01/98 seems right. I'm sure it was after the EA sports '98 titles.

[Jorpho]

Zoop came out for the SNES in 2000? I saw reviews for it in game magazines long before that; if it came out that late, it was sitting on the shelf for a long time. I thought the last US SNES game was also Frogger.

How about the Colecovision?
________
Vaporizer (http://vaporizers.tv/)

[TheRedEye]

The last game for the Famicom was Takahashi Meijin No Boken Jima IV, the fourth game in what we know of as the Adventure Island series. This was, of course, unreleased in the US.

[Raccoon Lad]

The last "US" SMS release was Sonic the Hedgehog. (technically a European release officially imported to the US)
I believe the last game released in Brazil was either Virtua Fighter Animation, or Street Fighter 2 some time in 1997

[Slipdeath]

wow zoop in 2000, thats even after the end of saturn

[Strato]

I know Zoop SNES was released in either 1995 or 1996 as I bought it for the system when it came out. The 2000 date is either wrong, a different game, or a rerelease of the game.

[davidbrit2]

Hmm, how about the Gameboy and the Gameboy Color? Surely there are no longer games being produced that will run on those.

[ubersaurus]

Believe it or not, GB and GBC games have shown up. The color still has new games put out for it, and the old game boy has had new games up until at least last year.

[hezeuschrist]

Zoop doesn't sit right with me either, I remember renting the hell out of that game way back in the day.... MUCH longer than 3 years ago.

[badinsults]

Zoop was definitely released in 1995. I played it back then.


The last snes/sfc game released was a special edition of Fire Emblem which was released in 2001, I believe. In the US, it could have been NHL 98, but I am unsure. Other possibilities include Space Invaders and Arkanoid.

Frogger came out after arkanoid and SI, if I recall.

[Jorpho]

Many Game Boy Color games will run on the original GB, but I don't think they've released a non-GBC game since Warioland 2.

Which brings up an interesting thought-what to classify those games as? Are they normal GB carts that just happened to be enhanced, like a Super Game Boy cart, or full blown GBC games?

[Jorpho]

Well, there are a number of different ways of making a cart that will run on both the old Game Boy and the GBC. One such way is to include two completely separate programs in the cart: one for the old, and one for the GBC. Blaster Master: Enemy Below was one of very few that used this method.

[tom]

The last game on Tiger's Game Com? Anyone?

[KlarthAilerion]

Which brings up an interesting thought-what to classify those games as? Are they normal GB carts that just happened to be enhanced, like a Super Game Boy cart, or full blown GBC games?

I think the most straightforward and clearcut way to distinguish between what makes a given title a Game Boy release or a Game Boy Color release is to look at the box and instructions for the game and see if they say Game Boy or Game Boy Color. It's possible that a few games were mis-packaged and would need to be clarified, but using what's on the box would work almost all of the time.

[davidbrit2]

I just do it the lazy way.

Grey cart: Gameboy
Clear cart: Gameboy Color
Black cart: Both

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

Bump

I think the last game released for the 5200 was either Gremlns or choplifter.

[Nubiandaze]

Hey All,
The last game officially released for the Vectrex was Polar Rescue. Of course there has been many homebrews released in the 90's and early 2000's. Polar Rescue was released in only a couple of chain stores across the U.S. and it sold out rather rapidly as it was released right at the death of the Vectrex.

It was only available via mailorder from GCE for a little while after that. This is why Polar Rescue has been going for in excess US$200 on ebay lately. It's a good game, probably the best of the commercial releases in the 80's. Of course homebrews have really shown us what the Vec can do such as Protector (Herbert) and Gravitrex (Dondzila) lately.

Regards,

Nubian.

[DigitalSpace]

Since this thread has been bumped, I thought I'd bring this up since it hasn't been mentioned here.

The last SNES release was settled in another thread (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39323), and that was Frogger.

[DigitalSpace]

EDIT: Nevermind.

[tonyvortex]

wario woods is an easy one to figure as well since its the only NES game with a ERSB rating.

[DigitalSpace]

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned yet: FIFA 2005 was the last Playstation release in the US.

[ARK1]

Here the list that I know of: (not counting unlicensed titles or rereleases)

- NES: Wario's Woods (12/1994)
- Super NES: Kirby's Dream Land 3 (12/1997)
- Genesis: Frogger (1998) [Frogger was released by Majesco a year after Sega released its last game for the Genesis: The Lost World in 1997]
- Sega Master System [US]: Sonic the Hedgehog (12/1991)
- Atari Jaguar: Fight For Liffe (1996)
- Sega 32X: Spiderman Web of Fire (1996)
- Sega Saturn: Shining Force III (1998)
- Nintendo 64: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (08/2002)
- Atari Lynx: Super Asteroids/Missile Command (1995)

Please remember that the Majesco games that appeared for the Game Gear in 2001 were RERELEASES. Those games were published by other companies years before.

[DigitalSpace]

Frogger is officially the final release for the SNES in the US. It was released in 1998 alongside the Genesis version.

[Dimitri]

Metal Slader Glory Director's Cut (SNES) This was the last game released for the Super Famicom worldwide. [11/29/00]

I believe this game was never released in a full retail package, just through the Nintendo Power system (sort of like a flash cart system in a kiosk). The last game I know of for the SFC that actually saw a full retail release was Fire Emblem Trachia 776. It was actually called the "ROM Version" by Nintendo themselves.

Of course, I could be wrong. I'd love to see pictures of a full retail Metal Slader Glory. :)

[EnemyZero]

I thought Burning rangers was the last released title? i can swear magic knight rayearth was released sometime in april of 98 with burning rangers following behind in may

[drewbrim]

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned yet: FIFA 2005 was the last Playstation release in the US.

Beyblade was just released for the playstation in early Dec. of 04

The last hucard format for the Turbo grafx was Magical Chase. Not sure of the last CD/DUO game

Are you talking about a new Beyblade game? The first Beyblade (and I think the only one for PSone) was released was before December 2004.

The last PSone game is the sports title mentioned above unless another one is coming down the line.

Magic Knight Rayearth (Saturn) was released a few weeks AFTER Shining Force 3 and Burning Rangers, making it the last Saturn game released in the US. Period.

[vintagegamecrazy]

The Last game for the channel F was Alien Invasion
The last game for the Odyssey 2 was Powerlords
The last game for the Select A Game was Pac Man 2


What was the last 5200 and 7800 games.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Actually technically wouldn't the last Atari 5200 game to be released be Bristles on 8/21/04? :D

[TurboGenesis]

Not 100% sure on this but the last US released Turbo Duo game may likely be Syd Mead's Terraforming or possibly Might & Magic III.

The last release that I am aware of on the Sega Saturn (JP) was Final Fight Revenge.

[PapaStu]

The final US release PS game in the states was Fifa 05 on 10/19/04. They might still be coughing out shit in Japan but thats not a UK title that im even familar with (that was on its way to release) nor is it a US title. Dojosky care to shed a few pictures (of the game) or light on the situation as to why you think this?

Checked ebgames.com and the only Beyblade game they have for PSX has been out for quite a while.

no it was magic knight,if i remember correct burning rangers,house of teh dead and panzer saga all came out about the same time.magic knight didnt come out till way later.

[alexkidd2000]

What about Sega CD? Was it Lunar 2?

[ARK1]

I believe the last Sega CD game was either Myst or Braindead 13.

[sfog]

GG: Jurassic Park: The Lost World
GB: (strictly mono) Beavis and Butthead
(mono compatible GBC) Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Journey/Tara's Adventure
(GBC Only) Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets
DWM 2 was also the last US release with Super Game Boy enhancements, making it (sort of) the last SNES game too.

[anagrama]

A few more:

SG1000 - The Black Onyx (1987)

Mark III - Bomber Raid (February 1989)
Master System (Europe) - Les Schtroupfs Autour du Monde (1996)
Master System (worldwide) - Virtua Fighter Animation (Brazil, 1997)

Mega Drive (Japan) - Madou Monogatari I (March 1996)
Mega Drive (Europe) - either FIFA '98 or Jurassic Park: The Lost World (both 1997)
Mega Drive (Worldwide) - Show do Milhao volume 2 (Brazil, 2001)

[Slimedog]

I thought I would bump the original topic instead of posting in the new one. What was the last NGPC game? Did anything come out after Gal's Fighters in the US?

Also, I didn't see anything listed for Lynx. Any ideas?

[Zing]

Frogger is officially the final release for the SNES in the US. It was released in 1998 alongside the Genesis version.

According to the "official" SNES release list (the pdf available on nintendo.com), Zoop was the most recent SNES release, with a date of January 2000.

There are also release lists for all of the other Nintendo consoles, but I didn't check to see if the list posted here matches them.

[Zing]

Hmm, well that will teach me to post without paying attention. Zoop was actually released in 1995. I guess these pdfs from nintendo are garbage. To the recycle bin with ye!

[Damon Plus]

The lost world was released a month after Fifa 98.

[DigitalSpace]

Time to bump this up, with some new info:

Gamecube - Madden '08
Xbox - also Madden '08 (UPDATE 9/5/08: And that'd be Madden '09 now.)

GBA - Anything else coming out? If not, what was the final release?

What were the last releases for the N-Gage and Gizmondo?

For anyone wondering why Nintendo has Zoop listed as the last SNES release instead of Frogger: as you may know, at the end of the SNES lifespan, Majesco got the rights to reprint several SNES and Genesis games, and Zoop was probably one of the last SNES reprints to hit stores (if not the last).

[Smashed Brother]

Xbox - also Madden '08

What about the Gamestop exclusive release of the Xbox version of Ratatouille? I may be wrong, but for some reason I keep thinking that I saw that appear after Madden '08 was released.

[VACRMH]

Would the last GBA game in the US be Samurai Deeper Kyo? Just came out in a boxset and is available at some online stores (such as Rightstuf)

[The 1 2 P]

Cool. There is a thread on this. Anyone know what the last releases for the 3DO, Atari Jaguar and Turbo Graphics were?

[DreamTR]

Are we sure on Beavis and Butthead for monochrome Game Boy?

Heck, Pokemon Yellow came out later than that.

Until the people that make the TOMY learning games have something else out, Samurai Kyo is the last one...

[udisi]

I second, I think Pokemon Yellow was last for original gameboy.

[ubersaurus]

The last official Dreamcast release worldwide is looking to be Karous(Karasu, if you go by the katakana), in 2007.

Last 7800 game worldwide was Sentinel in 1991, in Europe. I believe in the US it was Midnight Mutants, in 1990.

[sfog]

"Are we sure on Beavis and Butthead for monochrome Game Boy?

Heck, Pokemon Yellow came out later than that."

Beavis & Butthead is shown on Nintendo's official release list as from March 1999, the latest non-GBC game on there. Pokemon Yellow did come out later (in October of that year), but even though it's packaged as a Game Boy game, the US/EU version is technically a dual mode GBC game. When it's played on a GBC or GBA, you can't change the palette as with true monochrome GB games. The Japanese version, on the other hand, is a true mono GB game.

"Xbox - also Madden '08"

Not anymore, since the Xbox just got Madden 09 a few weeks ago, which should now be the final release.

[SegaAges]

For the last N-Gage game, are you talking about physical or physical+digital?

[Famidrive-16]

It says on Wikipedia that the last GBA release is a Barbie game. OMG!!! I dunno, when was that Samurai game released?

As far as I can tell Demolition Man is the last US-released Sega CD game, unless those Good Deal games count.

[sfog]

Wiki is wrong on that one. Samurai Deeper Kyo came out in February 2008. It was the final US GBA release, unless some new title comes out of nowhere. I doubt that, though, since there hasn't been a single GBA ESRB rating since last October. That Barbie game came out in early November 2007, and there were several other games that came out later that month (Cars: Mater National, High School Musical: Livin' the Dream, and Enchanted: Once Upon Andalasia are probably the most notable).

[slapdash]

The last game on Tiger's Game Com? Anyone?

Hmm... Centipede, Frogger, Monopoly or Scrabble... Can't recall which, but I've at least narrowed it down. :-)

[TheGam3r]

CD-I:Solar crusade (last offcial)
Bally astrocade:Cosmic radiers
