What is the most whored out Franchise out there?

they're getting there with merchandise though. Megaman NT warrior the cartoon gave quite a bit. I almost bought the buster cannon toy. xD

 

There's alot of games mentioned in here that definitely don't deserve it.

In my opinion Resident Evil is definitely not a whored out franchise. They have books and comics and movie, but the fact that the game series, is still so solid means that it really doesn't matter. There's been what like 13 or 14 games..

Certainly it hasn't been put out to the point where the series has degraded beyond its original ideas . The series continues to put out good game after game.

 

Are you kidding? Resident Evil is easily one of the most whored out series of all time. If Capcom thought they could make a buck porting it to the 2600 believe me they'd probably do it. Then they'd make a special edition for the Colecovision six months down the road.

 

the PlayStation brand

 

What about star wars licensed stuff?
You can find pretty much anything with star wars written on it...

 

Hahaha so true :clap: :lol:

 

SW was a whored out movie way before there were games made about the franchise....

 

What about Halo? I mean they're even bad enough to whore themselves out to the HotTopic stores and let them sell T shirts..

Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight

A NES game, featuring Ken as a scientist. Ken must avenge the death of his co-worker Troy by donning body armor and fighting mutants and aliens in this platform game.
This game is actually not part of the series; the Japanese version (titled 2010: Street Fighter) had nothing to do with Street Fighter (in the Japanese version, the protagonist was a policeman named Kevin Straker). Capcom USA saw an opportunity to milk their flagship franchise, and translated this game into a Street Fighter tie-in.

Didn't we have some thread were list of game series was posted?

 

If you think of all the various EA sports titles, they have probably had one of the longest franchises on the go as they started on the 8bit systems with basketball, baseball, american football and various other titles which have stretched across the decades & various platforms. By just sticking the year on the end i.e. "Baseball 1985", "Baseball 1986" or whatever, they've had pretty good milage.

If you look at the current titles they make the 8bit versions look like something done on a calculator... actually thinking about it they pretty much were.

 

er, he says looking at a pile of Nintendo related shit in his local Gamestation lol

Is that really a Donkey Kong remote control go-kart I see next to that Mario Mushroom sweatband and Princess t-shirt?

:thumbsup:

 

i think EA's sports franchises started off in the 16-bit era Parris.

The plastation brand is whored in the commercial sense of every console being named Playstation , 1, 2, 3 or portable

 

Holy shit, really? I need to hear a copy of that!

 

Nope, they began with the Commodore C64. I remember them clearly as I hated the black bubble plastic cases they used. I used to play Ice Hockey for hours. I am 99% certain that Ice Hockey & American Football for the C64 were EA.

 

Right but that's still only one game a year per professional sport. Games such a s Mega Man have had over 50 games in just 20 years. That's an average of 2.5 games per year. Realistically though, Henners was close with his statement of one game per quarter, as most of these games are quite new.
