Which game series has the most iterations..?

[rp2000]

Just curious,

Saw it mentioned in the MK thread.

I guess Streetfighter 2? (Am gonna try find a list of all game shortly) or Pokemon?

# Arcade

* 2.1 Champion Edition
* 2.2 Hyper Fighting
* 2.3 Super Street Fighter II
* 2.4 Super Street Fighter II Turbo
* 2.5 Hyper Street Fighter II

# Ports

* 3.1 Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
* 3.2 Street Fighter II': Champion Edition and Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting
* 3.3 Super Street Fighter II and Super Street Fighter II Turbo
* 3.4 Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition
* 3.6 Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix


Hmmm, not as many as I thought.

Final Fantasy.

13 editions? in total Although it is fair to say they are very different as the series progressed.

OT: weren't you banned here? (obvioulsy not now, but you know what I mean!!)

Mario maybe?(depending on which ones you include)

If you count just the platform series from SMB through to Mario Galaxy I think it is less than 8!!

Do we mean iterations of the same game, like SF2? Because people are listing games with a long series, I count these as separate games rather than different versions of the same game.

Yeah I sort of meant games in a series that have not changed too much.

i.e. it's argueable you could seperate the Final Fantasy's into the 2d and 3d ones. However, with Mario Bros I wouldn't as the core gameplay was more or less the same, just added a 2rd dimension.

For street fighter 2 there is only the ones I listed above. I count the vs games as different as they had totally different game play (jump like 50 feet in the air and absolutely ridiculous super moves!!). Alpha games are different as is SF3 etc.

Not sure if I have explained it as well as I mean in my head.

you could pick any EA sports series really, Fifa, Madden, NHL, NBA, they have all been around since 93/94.

That would mean 14ish iterations (although some years FIFa did a RTWC title).
Edit: Gamespot shows 32 different versions!!!
