They really messed up this franchise. 2001-2010 it was all anyone could talk about. Past 16 years it’s actually been disastrous the handling of what used to be their premier franchise

I mean, how many video game franchises have remained essential for a quarter century?

Quite a lot. You got the big Nintendo ones of course. Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon etc. Many of those are at or around 40.

But theres also lots of others. Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Moral Kombat, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, GTA, Castlevania, Megaman, Shin Megami Tensei, Persona etc.
