The Guiness Book of World Records lists it at 46, but Wikipedia supposedly has over 100 Mega man games listed.  I wonder how many Mario has?  If you count cameos he's right up there, but if you count actual Mario games, it's probably more like 60.  Mega man wins by alot.  lol.  I can't think of anyone else who might be that high.

I haven't seen a Mega man game lately... so Mario takes the cake. :)

Sadly, I see Guitar Hero competing for the title in a few years time.

Mario is definitely the most milked franchise, no matter how you take it

If we're talking about Megaman including those awful Battle Network games, I'd say Capcom did less milking and more massacring of the poor Megaman franchise's former glory.

Megaman needs a comeback dearly. Maybe Mario & Sonic can help him out (Mario more). Megaman hasn't had a hot game since X5. Plus his shows got cancelled (liked the 90s one). Battle Network games ruined the show. Jacking out.......

I disagree... i've only played one bad Megaman game.  Mario in Time... and that was supposed to be some educational game.
