The top 3 games of next year, hands down, are StarCraft 2, Spore, and Brawl.

The leap from Melee to Brawl will destroy the leap from GTA3 to GTA4.




And I'm only saying this once in this thread: Nintendo is not the epitome of milking franchises. They are just the ONLY company to be this successful for this long. See the difference? Your argument will make sense when we stop having new Mega Man or Sonic games, or when a single developer on the planet decides that a franchise is... DONE. It doesn't happen.

Can you seriously talk shit about Nintendo while hyping Halo 3, Killzone 2, GTA4, MGS4, and FF13?

SEQUELITIS IS INDUSTRY-WIDE.

Yeah, people seem to like to ignore that Mario is on his third 3D platformer in an 11 year timespan; that is hardly what I would call 'milking a franchise' ... With the exception of Mario Party, most Nintendo games have 1 version released in an entire generation.

Answer:

Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Mario hotel
Etc...

 Answer: those are completely different genres of games.  Nintendo milks their characters, but that doesn't mean they make endless sequels.  Well, except Mario Party.
