Mario should be replaced with Crash and/or Rayman on that list.

I disagree with Resident Evil getting better and better

After Resi 2 it was almost dead for me. Came back with 4. thats not continuous enhancement

The only Mario games coming out this year is Smash Bros Brawl (if it even counts) and Mario Kart Wii. Or am I missing someone?

Super Mario Stadium Baseball. If WiiWare counts Doctor Mario.

That's just bad to say that Super Mario Party Kart Smash Bros. Brawl should Die.

Super Mario - Good, classic platformer. Among the best games ever in this franchise.
Mario Kart - Man, I can't count how many hours I've spent playing these games, enjoying them.
Mario Party - Okay, if Mario Party doesn't make any big changes for the next game, and not just adding online or somthing. I can agree on this one.
Super Smash Bros. - No.

That guy has to either work for Sony or is friends with someoone at Sony ie lets say JAFFE!!

Jaffe you pos!

They dont say that Mario needs to retire, just that Nintendo should use him in less games and add more energy to new characters, which I think is a good idea.

metal gear

final fantasy

 Seriously, why should they kill the FF-franchise? Almost every FF game ever released has sold huge and gotten great scores. Final Fantasy doesnt even use the same characters game after game, why kill a franchise that holds a very high standard with every new release and is one of the most loved games every made?

Pac-Man: I can agree here.

Medal of Honor: Eh, it's not that the franchise needs to be ended - it just needs to stop trying to be another franchise. I understand why people think the franchise should be killed, but seriously, Heroes 2 for Wii was a wonderful take, and it doesn't even look like they tried much on it. Imagine what could happen if they did.

Tony Hawk: I can agree here.

Tomb Raider: I can agree here.

Manhunt: Two games, man. Two stinking games. That's hardly enough to make an argument like this. Wow. I'm fairly certain that, for a franchise to need to be considered "tired", it needs at least three iterations. At least. And if it doesn't have that much, you really can't make a fair argument.

Spyro the Dragon: I never liked Spyro, but it's not like the series keeps getting whored out. It barely even shows around anymore. And the argument here? The most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

Super Mario Party Kart Smash Bros. Brawl: I think this one's been torn apart enough; I don't need to reiterate anybody else's arguments as to why this guy's a tool.
