Dynasty warriors is the most milked franchise of all time 8 entries in the main series, from dynasty warriors 4-7 all have 2 spin offs, dynasty warriors 3 has 1 spin off, there was 4 separate dynasty warriors titles on the psp, 1 on the vita, 3 on the DS, Also a dynasty warriors online, 2 dynasty warriors tactics. 3 Dynasty warriors
gundam titles......The list goes on and on and ONNNNNNN but if I was to count every title that had something to do with the dynasty warriors world there would be 35 titles and that excluding other koei titles that use the same battle system but have different titles.

Sure, Dynasty Warriors is milked, but do you think Mario is milked? Or is this basically a "No way."?

Individual series aren't really milked, but the FRANCHISE is milked. There is really no way arguing against that. Literally hundreds of Mario games have been released across various platforms for years, and it is not uncommon for the character to star in at least five games a year. And lets not even get started on the various spin offs starring other Mario characters like Yoshi, Peach, Wario, Donkey Kong and Luigi.

The real question, I think, is does it really matter? I don't really think so. The entire reason why the character stars in so many games is because he's had so many spin offs that have done well enough to essentially warrant becoming their own franchises.
