One of the first games released on the N64 system.

From context he likely means the first games for the platform.

I vaguely remember it was a launch title.

Some people need everything explained don't they? "What do you mean first game? I distinctly remember playing tag at school and that preceded Wave Race 64 by at least 2 years. Please stop spreading FUD".

Perhaps but it is easy to forget that sometimes they simply either don't understand or that English may not be their primary language.

I try to assume that such things are genuine questions unless facetiousness is obvious.

Makes for a more pleasant place that way.

It's crazy how ambitious it was to have Mario 64 as a launch title, particularly when you compare it with the other launch title, Pilotwings 64.
