read the second post on this page

i explained why FF games aren't milked

CDUB316

so you saying all final fantasy games dont share certain elements? main mario games only share certain elements as well they all have a different theme for the game and they take a while to make...

sure they share the names of spells and summons....but that's about it

music, world, characters, story....it's all fresh

the moogles are a character and they are in way more then one final fantasy game and yes thats my point main mario games are completely fresh just with the same characters they always trying to offer something different succeed or fail

well yea they have their "trademark" appearances....like they use the name cid in every game since FF2

but those occurrencescan hardly justify FF games being called milk

and yea i understand....i'm not calling mario milked whatsoever

yea i was actually agreeing with you from the beginning which is why i said if mario is milked then a whole bunch of games are too (final fantasy was the first that came to mind) i dont think final fantasy is milked either its always fresh and entertaining.

Mario, with Guitar Hero in a close second.

Mario, nothing, not even Call of Duty or Guitar Hero has been as milked as Mario.

Anything Activision can get their hands on.

Mario, zelda, halo

but being a milked franchise aint always a bad thing unless its guitar hero which after 3 has turned into a laughable joke and turning more people to rock band

Guitar Hero/Rockband.

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.wiretoss

BUT NINTENDO IS STILL MILKING THE MARIO NAME!

However there is nothing wrong with Mario.

I'm going to quote myself for the 3rd time!

"Oh but the Milk is GOOD!"

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]Errr, Mario obviously. There's actually been like 2000 games featuring him in it and a movie, cartoon show, cereal, yadda yadda.hiphops_savior

Isn't Mikey Mouse "Milked"?

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

Jfisch93

There's a difference between a franchise being milked, and it being around for a long time.

Being milked is when a ton of games come out in a short period of time.

Also, it's easily Guitar Hero.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]Errr, Mario obviously. There's actually been like 2000 games featuring him in it and a movie, cartoon show, cereal, yadda yadda.hiphops_savior

Yes, yes Mickey Mouse has been milked dry. Mario is the gaming equivalent.

Look he loves it too

Easily Guitar Hero. But Call of Duty is not far behind.

I would have said Pokemon, but it wasn't in the list. The franchise hasn't just been milked by Nintendo, but also by imitations such as Digimon and Monster Hunter.

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"] Under your logic, Mickey Mouse would've been milked just as badly. Mario is an icon that is family friendly, something that no other gaming series apart from Pokemon can ever be.hiphops_savior

Yes, yes Mickey Mouse has been milked dry. Mario is the gaming equivalent.

Arach666

It's mario and its also the most successful franchise

I would say Madden and Guiltar Hero. I also have to disagree with people who say Rock Band because they're doing what Guitar Hero should be doing, DLC tracks. Aside from Rock Band Beatles everything is good so far.

Bad milkage: guitar hero and call of duty

Good milkage: mario

Anything that can obtain mass market appeal can and most likely will end up getting milked. In fact I can't think of anything with mass market appeal that either isn't currently milked or on the fast track to being milked.jalexbrown

What about Zelda?

Sure, there are a lot of Zelda games, but all are part of the main series and none of them are spin-offs or shovelware. (CDi games don't count)

The number of games in a franchise has less to do with milkage than the variety of the games in a franchise does. While I agree that the Mario series is a bit milked, listing a long line of games that belong to the same franchise is not evidence that a series is milked.twitchmonkey399

Is that not the definition of milkage? When you also add the long line of non-gaming related products like dolls, underwear and keyrings? Mario is a big cow.

''The act of producing spin-offs, sequels, and prequels to already successful titles and franchises for the sole purpose of profiting off of their previous success.

See. "Milking it for what it's worth."

I voted for GH. But srsly...No Madden!
