Super Robot Wars.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the series. I've played almost every game. But in 24 years this series has had 54 games released, on every console and handheld made in that time except the current gen.

CoD has nothing on that.
>>
Reminder that Megaman has more sequel and spin off combined than any Mario game.

But yeah, it's epic to shit on Nintendo, so my answer is Mario.

Somewhere between Mario and CoD. Battlefield, Far Cry, and Assassin's creed are also heavy contenders, but unlike the former, they actively attempt to get worse with every release.

How do you release 2 games a year?
>>
>>319399626
We're talking ALL forms of games with the series. This includes the sports spinoffs, regular spinoffs (toad's game for example), etc.

Mario easily trumps any other game series.
>>
>>319399016
Nba2k. Same game since 06
>>
>>319399439
I don't like how they hardly feel like crossovers now.
In the alpha games they would mix storylines together, have characters from various series involved in eachother's world politics and tie in similar plot points when possible.
The recent games just feel like the originals of the game going on a tour to different countries where each series took place, and they hardly interact in any way outside of combat and occasional joke lines. The stories of each series just play out exactly how they did in the show until you reach the original baddies.
>>
A franchise being milked implies the quality rapidly drops.

Nintendo may put out a lot of games but they at least remain decent.
>>
Any answer besides Ass Skreed or Call of Dooty is factually wrong. Those have both had at least one game per fucking year for almost a decade and every one of them has been virtually the same game.

Knowing that someone likes Assassins Creed is a pretty good way to quickly gauge how unintelligent they are.
>>
>>319399651

Up until Z on the PS2, the games never had particularly amazing production values.

For example, here's one of the best-animated units in Alpha 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT7wIIE_L_4

And here's a miniboss in Z, only a couple years later
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlo9q12LmqA
>>
>>319399651
They usually have like two teams making the games at once.
Like way back, you'd have one studio doing the GBA/DS games, and the other doing the PS2 ones.
>>
I haven't bought a Nintendo console since the N64 because more than half of the games are Mario ones (or feature him) and I'm sick of seeing that fucker.
>>
>>319399768
>Nintendo may put out a lot of games but they at least remain decent.
Because their most recent outings like the new tennis game and dr. mario on the 3DS were beacons of quality, right? They're soulless and just churn them out with little effort.

Not that they are bad games.

On the other hand, Worms 3d has had how many rehashes now? And it's a piece of shit.

What is any Nintendo franchise?

>>319399768
The only Wii U games with Mario in them that aren't shit are Mario Maker and Mario Kart 8.
>>
>>319399626
No. It doesn't.
>>
>>319399075
I feel like it's easily the most milked franchise that doesn't deserve to be milked in the slightest.
It barely deserved even a single sequel, let alone all the shit it did get.
>>
>>319400057

There actually aren't that many Zelda games when you think about it.

I never got why anyone would want to play more after their first exposure to the series.

>>319399595
Is that so? Okay, go ahead and list every title. I'll even let you list the Arika games.

But Mario has, and I'll only list the titles where Mario is the, or at least one of the, main playable characters, off the top of my head:
Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros 2 (Lost Levels)
Super Mario Bros 2 (USA)
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario 64

I was getting to them, but the list got so long I just stopped myself. The point was to challenge him to try and dwarve that list with the apparently numerous Street Fighter milks.
>>
>>319400264

Considering it's been around since the NES era, yeah that's actually not that much.

It's because they only recently starting doing side game stuff. Before that every Zelda was that, a Zelda game. No Zelda Golf or any of that.

I'd say Mario, but it's more like those blood farm cows than a milk cow.

>No one said Persona 4

Even if P4 doesn't have games as much as Mario or Megaman the milking was too obvious, not to mention P4 itself is already a spin-off, no, it's only a part (one game) of a spin-off, so it's one game from a spin-off which produce another spin-offs. It's ridiculous.

The King of Fighters has 14 main series games, plus 3 crossovers with Capcom, and several side stories games (KOF:Kyo, Gal Fighters, KOF Howling Blood etc..)

>>

KoF seems to be only popular on niche fanbase, and release per year before XI was more of obligatory. They just want to produce things.
I don't think it's milking or at least, not in negative light.

Bethesda literally said they don't care about the lore. They dropped the RPG aspect of the game. They're turning it into their TES action adventure dumbed down console type game for the masses.

Fucking christ.
I could understand golden a bit, but a dancing sequel, a interquel crossover in the style of another game, and two hilariously low-budget anime us a little much for one fucking PS2 game, especially now that we're two console generations later.

Twenty says P5 got pushed back so they could squeeze out one more P4 thing.

That's why I said it's obvious. It's clear they milked P4 for money and tried to pander as hard as possible. They churned nothing but P4 in 4 years.
I think it's within the definition of "milked" more than anything mentioned in this thread.

I understand they did it because Atlus went broke back then but still.

Mario is obvious, but Megami Tensei gets milked to hell and back. Atlus can have that money so long as the games stay good though.

Without a doubt pokemon.

Not only pokemon still have the same core design from the first generation of decades ago(beat 8 gym leaders, defeat all elite, collect all pokemon), it took them 6 generations just to change from sprites to 3d, because putting effort or money into anything else is a complete waste of money, since people will always buy it anyway. At least mario and zelda tried something different on their main games every once in a while.
