Infact milking mario is the ONLY reason why the wii has an AAAAE

When mario is pumping out games like this. He can be excluded from the list. Nuff said.

Back in the day I'd say tony hawk series. I'll never forget how much I played that game all the time. After the 3rd one, 4th one, 5th one, ect, I just lost complete interest.

Out of the list I'd say Sonic. Guitar hero ain't much behing tho

GrandTheftDog

Final Fantasy is getting milked to the point that only lumpy, sour excrete is remaining. Guitar Hero too. Mario is excused because atleast his games are good.

I would say Mario or Calll of Duty but they are still of overall quality.

Alright.

This. Milking and bad game are not the same thing. Mario games are often good. Doesn't take away the fact that it isthe most milked IP, by far.

Guitar Hero series, they have an online music store and expansions, just choose one, at least just sell your expansions through dlc

why no mention of the sports games like Fifa and Madden which are just rehashed every year? at least series like CoD vary the time at which they're set, changing alot of the gameplay

Pokemon and Dragonball Z

its funny cause their both the most milked Animes aswell

GrandTheftDog

so is pokemon

Guitar hero with out a doubt, it got milked dry fast :?... Mario is a mascot, sure he appears in a lot of games but he represents what gaming is about, pure fun.

lol wut? you asked which was the most milked though...

im all for milkage as long as the game stays good. I mena its just more of a good thing

About 3 or 4 years ago I would say Mario, but the amount of games he has been in seems to have decreased a lot. I'll say Guitar Hero.

All of them.

There is a difference between releasing one, maybe two games per console lifecycle for a particular franchise i.e. Mario; and having 3-5 games a year ala Guitar Hero and Call of Duty.

So I will have to say GH and CoD are the most milked franchises.

lolwut?

This gen we had on the DS: Mario 64 remake, new SMB, Mario Kart DS, Mario vs DK March of the mini's 1 & 2, Mario Party DS and the Yoshi game with baby Mario on it back, and I may be forgetting some. Then for the Wii: SMG 1 and 2, SM Kart, Mario party, NSMB and then I'm not counting Warioware and that sidescrolling Wario game (Warioland I think), which basically also fall under the Mario IP. That's more than any other series and I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

So what exactly is milking because I fail to see how for example Final Fantasy is one of the most milked franchises. All games are different and have high quality and they're releasing the games very slowly too. The worst side is perhaps their Gamecube/Wii games but these are few.

Final Fantasy. There has to be like 35 FF games now. Mario and Sonic are close behind. Mario at least still puts out some good games though.

Mario. Nintendo seriously needs to stop the sports games.

How does Warioland fall under the Mario IP when Mario isn't even in the game? Just curious

Anyways Mario is the most milked but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing as long as the games continue to be good

Clearly Mario.

Metal Gear

i don't think final fantasy is being milked at all, for the most part, its a different game each time, square is too lazy to come up with a new title. There is also the recurring themes/inhabitants that kind of loosly string them together but they are still very different.
