When you think about it, DBZ games are the most milked franchise ever. They are the only game that has had the same story/characters for over 11 games in 7 years, no one even comes remotely close to this insane statistic.The only thing that people would buy more of them is because they added 10 new characters or something. Now since they added ALL of them over 3 years ago, now they put less in there for no reason. That used to be my favorite fighting game too. It should be illegal to get away with something like that.

Each game of Guitar Hero is basically a song pack.

Guitar Hero. I don't think I've seen so many releases for the series in a 2 year span.

I used to not mind the Tony Hawk milkage, because the games used to be good enough that I could ignore it. Now, though...*sigh*

Uhh. Mario. He has appeared in more than 200 video games to date, with both starring and less significant roles.

I'd have to agree wtih Dragon Ball Z, especially since the greater portion of the games turn out crappy.

mega man might have a TON of games, but that is spread over every generation very nicely and evenly

GH on the other hand has only been on two generations and has pretty much almost caught up to mega man....i think that speaks for itself

I still think Pro Skater 2 or Pro Skater 3 were he best ones, but Underground was up there as well; I even had a lot of fun with Project 8 for a while.

sure i guess you could say that

but milking in my eyes is putting out a TON of games in very little time

where as mario games are many QUALITY games put out in a length of over twenty years...so i don't really considering that milking as much as games like Guitar Hero

but, that's just how i look at it

only the name of FF is milked

every FF game is pretty much it's own game and could easily have another name....not really ever the same characters, story, or locations at all

Mario, Zelda, Metroid. C'mon, Nintendo, try something new.

Jfisch93

I knew I missed something.

The Legend of Zelda and Metroid Titles are not milked (unlike Mario)

The Legend of Zelda except for like 1 game (Link's Crossbow Training) have been theirown game in the Franchise.

Therefore they are not milked just new games in the Franchise (except for Link's Crossbow Training which was just a bonus for buying the Wii Zapper.)

Metroid (like Zelda) is hardly Milked at all except for one game and that's Metroid PinBall, the Rest of the Metroid games have something to do with it's storyline.

Now I did forget to mention one other Milked franchise that may put Megaman and Mario to shame.

Pokemon.

"Oh but the Milk is GOOD!"

Those are all SEPARATE games. How many of those games have received less than a 7.0 on gamespot reviews? How many of them have received less than an 8.0 for that matter? Milking would be if Nintendo constantly was releasing REALLY BAD games. I can't recall a Mario based game that has been legitimately BAD.
