I was about to mention Kratos and Snake, but still they belong to different trademarks. And we already have seen some disputes between Sony and their Trademark Owners
Snake may be owned by Konami but i'm pretty sure Kratos is 100% Sony property.

Don't understand why Pokemon is so popular. Started as a cartoon for 6-8 year olds and now has spread to adults. Christ dueling? Fo' real?
I still find Vita needs some new refreshing characters. See, the 3DS speaks for itself, the 3D gimmick and stuff. What about that? Old school characters now in 3D! This was a double edged course Nintendo decided to take once again, and they're stabilizing right now. For some reason, I found the 3DS generation characters to have the "retro feel" it needed long ago (say, Mario, Mario Kart 64 era) and I love it.
PSVita's fortress is... well the 3G + touchscreen + better gfx + PS3 games ported. This must be the 1st time a handheld (known worldwide) offers internal internet connectivity. At least as a dedicated gaming device, unlike iphone.
But, what the heck, I still find Sony to do not cook his own character/genre so they can milk it as they please, this kind of strategy helps supporting the console. If they ever had one OMGZ KNOWN CHARACTER exclusively from Sony since crash bandicoot ol' times, I didn't even noticed them hence, my preferences on any Sony game platform would derive from games I played in my childhood.
On the other hand Nintendo keeps loyal to (most of them) characters/genre as we already know by tradition since 20 years aprox. So no matter how many times we see a Mario Kart 99 or a Pokemon Mayonnaise, it'll be successful because of their own genre and/or characters.
Watch your mouth Mr. Magazine Staff. Don't wanna report ya...then you're absolutely fucking retarded.
The first "Metroidvania" game was actually Metroid and Super Metroid perfected that formular. Then came Symphony of the Nigtht and people came up with the term "Metroidvania". But Nintendo actually invented this sub-genre.They don't own Metroidvania (mainly because it's part Metroid and part Castlevania).
You can say what you want but keeping franchises alive and well for over 25 years as a game company is a great archievement. The games stay true to their respective formular while evolving at the same time. These game franchises are still alive and kicking because they are good and there's demand for them. What's wrong about this? I'm sure if Sony stays that long in the game business Kratos, Sackboy and Nate will still be there, and that's good! On a side note, I played all 5 GoW games and I enjoyed them all!25 years of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid games

The thing is that I mostly see Nintendo being accused for rehashing and milking and then games like COD, GoW and Uncharted are mentioned. I think it's just a matter of on which "side" the people are standing. If they "prefer" company x, they say company y is milking and the others can say it the other way around. It really doesn't matter if we are talking about Nintendo, MS oder Sony. If someone wants to see things in a certain way (milking and rehashing), he just does it. And all would have a point. But what is the point of this complaining anyway? As I said before these "rehashes" only exist because there is demand for them and because they are good. So obviously people want them and at the same time other people don't want them calling the rehashes or whatever.I just find that people will criticize Kratos, Sackboy, and Nate for "milking" if they last 25 years but if Mario, Zelda, and Metroid last 50 years (roughly, by the time the others reach their 25 year mark) then people will say it's a "great accomplishment" that they're able to keep the franchise running for 50 years. Not saying you would, but others surely will. It's a gigantic double standard. I can't remember how many times I've seen people yell at Final Fantasy for being nothing more than "milking" when it's been around for about the same time as Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. Gaming fanbases are full of terrible double standards, I was simply pointing out a gigantic one.
surprising the flame wars are about everything BUT THE FUCKING VITAYay... more troll-fuel for handheld flame wars.
So the 3DS sets an all-time sales record and it's submitted as news, why is this trolling when it's just truth? It's like any good news about the 3DS is considered trolling...Yay... more troll-fuel for handheld flame wars.
I meant that its just pointless data that doesn't affect anyone except share holders, but can be used by fanboys to brag that their system is selling better so it makes it better.surprising the flame wars are about everything BUT THE FUCKING VITAYay... more troll-fuel for handheld flame wars.
