I never said it did although they're still extensions of the series.  was thinking more,  Mario Party this year,  Mario kart last year, Mario 3D the year before. 

3 radically different games.

I wish I could give you a non-Nintendo example, but non-Nintendo studios really suck at creating spin-offs it seems.

A good example is Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. mainline Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Main Series spinoffs like X-2 or XIII-2/XIII-3, Kingdom Hearts, Mana, The 4 Heroes of Light, etc, etc. It is like saying, we get Rise of Mana, and Circle of Mana two years in a row, therefore  Final Fantasy is a yearly series.
