And yet, despite being in so many games, can anyone think of an overused franchise aside from Mario Party? I mean we've just got the third 3d mario platformer in 3 generations! Not many major successful franchises can boast so few iterations.

GTA?

I assume that you said GTA as an overused franchise... because it is... in the last generations we have had GTA3, VC, SA. LC stories and VC stories (on PS2 as well) ---edit; i took too long and this has been clarifyed---

It is a good point stof, apart from Mario Party how many Mario genres has Mario been overused in... you could say sports, but it's not like we get a whole new set of Mario sports every year like with EAs licenced sports.

I mean there have been 4 mario tennis and 3 mario golf games in the past 11 years... and so far no sport has been on the same console twice.... in fact the only mario games to have appeared on a single console twice have been the main series (on NES, SNES, GB AND GBA there were a few mario platformers) and Mario Party games.

 

and @ your reply to my last post... i said they re-hash games, but with different characters.
