Jeez! First, take a pill Robocop! Second, I totally forgot about Sonic (And I even mentioned him in an earlier post!). Also, the Chocobos maybe had 2 games at most where the games revolved around them, There are more than two. Again, do the research. and Mega Man, while multiple in the franchise, only appeared in one franchise that took him out of his world: Capcom vs. series. Out of his world? What kind of criterion is that? NO DEVELOPER uses that criterion. The fact is that the OFFICIAL Mega Man games are pretty numerous, and infamous for that. As for Street Fighter and King of Fighters, yeah, I agree, those franchises just keep on coming and are becoming jaded, and there are numerous other franchises that are still being continued that I can list, but the fact still remains that you are not seeing Ryu or Iori outside of the fighting genre. So it's the fact that Mario is used in various generes that is the problem? When has that EVER been a law of game design? Afterall, isn't that the whole reason for this discussion: Mario appearing in games that are really running the gamet? NO! The discussion was HOW MANY SOLD A MILLION. Or do you mean your discussion, which NOT UNTIL THIS POST did you use ANY words indicating it was the multiple generes that was bothering you. |

Reread the earlier posts with stof. Here's what I said in one of the earlier posts:
"I had no qualms with the Mario franchise, just my beef was that Mario is just in so many games, in so little time."
If you look at the various sports, party, RPGs, etc., those are different genres, wouldn't you say? That's what I meant with Mario in appearing in so many games.
While not the best example, I did mention GTA, and Soriku metioned Madden as franchises that are being overused. Still, I didn't place the magnifying glass on franchises, just the character, Mario, being used in various games.
Also, I never mentioned that it's a problem (Aside from me not liking the fact that Mario has appeared in so many different games) with them putting Mario in so many games, as it is paying-off dividends.
Finally, touche with the list of Chocobo games. Didn't know so many were released, but they did stay in Japan and many of them didn't make it elsewhere.
