I can really only think of one right now.

Sonic.

As much as I like Sonic he's just dragging his name through the mud right now. Maybe if some great developer could pick him up.

Yeah, I don't really care if Mario dies.

And to Final Fantasy I would say definetly no to it dying. They're some of my favorite games ever. But eventually it will die and should. They can only go so long before they start messing up the games.

Pokemon. Or at least do some remakes for a while, the last gen was my least favourite. Really, some of the pokemon were desperate additions.

Mario is my first choice. There are what?... 6000 Mario games now. How many times do people want to play as that tubby little .... before people get tired of him.

How about Pokemon? Mutant animals kept in very small cages that are let out only to beat the crap out of other mutant animals is kinda lame.

I'll keep on playing as mario as long as his games are good. ;)

Anywho, There should never be another Crash bandicoot or Spyro game again. The first few for each were good, but after that :?...

Command and Conquer. I loved the series before but now that RA3 came out, it's an embarassment to the RTS community.

I know I'm probably alone on this, but I have to say MGS. I agree with Final Fantasy also.

You could say that about many popular series. Mario always saves the Princess, Master Chief always shoots some aliens etc.

I don't want any franchises to die, there's people out there who will always enjoy them, I however could choose not to get them.

I've always found it to be remarkably selfish to want a series to die. No matter your personal feelings on the subject, there'll always be people that still enjoy those games. Hell, some of the series mentioned here (MGS, Final Fantasy, Mario, Pokemon, Zelda... are you guys serious? :?) are still pumping out great games.

The whole sports franchise. In my opinion it is ridiculous to spend hard earned money every year on THE SAME GAME. I really admire their marketing strategy especially how they manage to sucker poor people into buying them every year but why not just make 1 freaking game and update it via xboxlive, psn ect?

Sonic like most others have mentioned in the thread.

Also, Need For Speed.

This one is a little controversial, but COD series is just too played out. 5 games in 6 years is just too much. There's another one coming out this year so it's actually 6 games in 7 years. Way to go Activision.

Guitar Hero. Some should tell Activision about DLC.....

This one is probably not fair, but teh Pixel Junk series. I have never played a Pixel Junk game I've liked. I dont get them. I understand a lot of people do like playing them, but I think it should die so Sony can make more games like Flower. :)

Madden. Please stop trying to make a football sim EA. Please stop embarrasing yourselves.

MLB 2k series. Please stop trying to make a football sim Take2. Please stop embarrasing yourselves.

Crysis Warhead and whatever other Expansion they have coming up that they will refer to as a new game, but it would use the same engine, be set on the same island where you would fight the same enemies (more or less). At least it would stop PC fanboys from claiming it was the best looking game last year when all it was, was a DLC episode wrapped inside a new disc case.

Halo.

[spoiler] Just Kidding! :P About Halo, totally serious on Crysis' so called "sequels". [/spoiler]

Do you know how idiotic it would be to eliminate every sports game? Everyone who says sports either hardly plays the game or doesn't play them enough.

If I had a gun I would join you on that one, lol.

Seriously sports franchises, all thats improved on these games are graphs and online play.

Fable.

Need for Speed.

CoD.

MGS...let it die in its glory and make a different series.

Guitar Hero and the rest of the band games...S0lidSnake gave the reason someone please tell Activision and the rest of the companies that make these games about DLC for Christ sakes, then they won't release sequel after sequel every month.

Only one I can think of is Sonic. Unlike other franchises this one was amazing at one point, and has progressively sucked worse and worse each year. It needs to be put out of it's misery.

I love Final Fantasy, but I'd love for XIII to be the last one and they just start making Chrono games or something. Maybe a new series so I don't get lost in all the roman numerals that are to come with more Final Fantasy titles >_>..

I don't agree with COD dying, but it is true it shouldn't come out every year. Just start to do something online and then you start all over.

Wanting it to die may be a little harsh, but whenever I see a new Dynasty Warriors game announced my initial reaction is "No! Bad developers! Stop it! Stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it!" Ahem.

Madden. He resigned, so should his games.

Sonic.

Mario. He's become a tool for nintendo to make fast cash. He has out one good game once every few years and even then, Mario Galaxy was extremely boring.
