Too many to list.

(Smash Bros. doesn't count because all games in the series include Mario. Whether Tetris, and to a lesser extent Zelda, should count is debatable.)

Tetris should definitely count, since it was started without any Mario influence whatsoever before Nintendo co-opted it.

I'm assuming there has to be more than two games with a relation to each other for it to be considered a series and I'm only listing things that I'm currently playing or own.

Katamari Damacy series
Gears of War series
Fallout series

Besides Mario, I'm interested in Sonic, Kirby, and Pikmin. That's about it, really. Mario is my top, closely followed by Sonic, and Kirby's somewhat below. I really just got into Pikmin because my brother loved it and was always after me to play it, so we had a deal involving him working on a project in exchange for me playing Pikmin and Pikmin 2. Great and fun series, especially the second one, but there's not really enough games to consider it a "series", so to speak. Yet, anyway.

-Zelda (not as big a fan of it as Mario though..)

-Kirby (been playing a lot of Kirby 64 recently, wish I had the Wii Pts to get Kirby's Dreamland 3)

-Metroid (my wife loves to watch me play Super Metroid, though the series freaked me out when I was younger. I had to sell all of my Metroid games to get over the nightmares..)

-Tetris (really, I only bought Tetris DS because of the Mario influence, but I do love me some Tetris)

-Pacman (I have Namco Museum on the GBA, I think, but I remember when Pacman was in the arcades and when it was the first NES game we owned [with SMB of course] On a similar note: does anyone have a copy of Pacman World Rally for the Gamecube they are willing to part with?..)

- Dig Dug (I love Dig Dug DS, but I also remember when Dig Dug was first an arcade game..)

Too many to list!

Series like the Wario Ware, Game & Watch Gallery/Gameboy Gallery and the Smash Bros. series do not count along with games with cameos from any game.

Bomberman. Nobody's mentioned that yet.

Post by: Chupperson Weird on February 23, 2009, 10:16:50 PM
This is a hard concept to grasp since I have a lot of games that are part of a franchise or series but haven't played other ones, so do those count? Anyway,
Chrono
Xeno
Final Fantasy
Mega Man
Castlevania
Ys
Ico/Shadow of the Colossus
Star Ocean
Gradius
Zelda
Sonic
Mana
Nights
Valkyrie Profile
Soul Blazer "series"

I used to play a lot of Star Fox, but haven't in the past few years. I own Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, but haven't finished 2. I like tons of games that aren't part of any series, or are part of spiritual succession...

of the top of my head...

Metal Slug
Kirby
Mega Man
Castlevania
Sam & Max
Zelda
Sonic (haven't played the 3D ones though)

Yeah, mostly into platformers.

-Kirby (Played most Kirby games in existence.)

-Pokemon (Have all 4 generations worth.)

-Zelda (I actually prefer Majora's Mask over OOT, but almost every one of them is better than TP.)

-Metriod (I only care for the 2-D platformer ones.)

-Sonic (The series is fine, but they keep adding new characters and its getting really annoying, also the fanbase needs to stop with the recolors!)

-Starfox (Went downhill after Adventures.)

-Pikmin (I want Pikmin 3 now!)

-Any pre-Microsoft Rare game (They were the masters of platforming, only rivaled by Nintendo.)

That's what I can think of right now...

I forgot about Animal Crossing. I own and enjoy all three versions of the game. It's really the only life simulator game that I enjoy, besides Rollercoaster Tycoon (henceforth reffered to as RCT)..

Come to think of it, I didn't mention RCT at all. It's also a great series (if you want to call it that..) Nicky really likes to build crazy rides (usually rollercoasters) that not even the thrill seekers (park visitors with a high thrill ride tolerance) will ride.

I also forgot to mention I play Mega Man: Battle Network. Although the games bare the Mega Man name, I don't really consider them true Mega Man games.

They're still fun though.

I still refuse to list my games on the basis that no one wants to read a multi-page list of names, and I really don't want to type one up.

I bought Saints Row 2 the other day. It's worth every penny.

I'm nearing the end of Mother (Earthbound Zero) and it's been quite a ride.  It had its annoying factors, but it really fits nicely with the other two which are easily the best games I've ever played in my life.  Once I finish it, I'll be proud to say I've cleared the entire Mother series.

It'd be difficult to name them all. I'll play anything for any game console, as long as it's good.
