Here's the ones for me - actually these are practically the ONLY games I buy exclusively anymore:

- Super Mario Bros (the true platforming games, not all the sports and party and other shit)
- Legend of Zelda (I still need to play the 4 swords games and a couple of the handheld games)
- Super Smash Brothers (I can't wait for the next one)
- Grand Theft Auto (Haven't played the 'stories' versions, I can't wait for part 4 though, it will kick ass)

weirdly enough, i don't think i have a series i religiously follow. hurr. maybe if company of heroes becomes a series -- and it will.

cubicle47b · « **Reply #9 on:** October 21, 2006, 05:44:54 PM »

Fire Emblem/Advance Wars. Although I think I might be able to skip a new Advance Wars game after the DS version.

Zelda
Metal Gear
Final Fantasy

Are the heavy-hitter, must-have titles for me--where I do things like get the soundtrack or import the incomprehensible Japanese version, or buy foot-tall action figures because they have a freakin crocodile hat omg!!

2d Metriod and Castlevania are close. 3d Metroid is ok, but just hasn't clicked in a way that makes me feverishly-anticipate the next one. Too bad they never did a 3d Castlevania, I imagine it would be something like God of War.

Then there are series that are similar but either haven't built-up a legacy in my mind--like Half-Life--or have been dropping off--like Soul Calibur or Prince of Persia. Or beloved series that are either dead or had the life drained out of them--like Thief or Street Fighter--and series I really enjoyed but got my fill of, like Katamari.

huh.....

well... come to think of it.... none.

wow, every single series I've been interested in.. I haven't actually gone out to make sure I get all of those in the series.

I'd say warcraft, but I never cared to get warcraft 1....

I'd say Final Fantasy.. but once 10 was released... I never cared to buy it or anything after that..

I'd say Zelda... but I never cared to actually buy windwaker.. or ANY of the gameboy ones...

I'd say metroid, but besides the NES one, and the second (which i didnt actually buy, i just had cousins bring it over on the gameboy and i beat it during a christmas), and then super metroid, and metroid prime 1.. (didnt buy #2, rented it to beat it)..... I guess but even then I didn't search for any of the hand held ones.

Fuck I have no specific series! ;(

Mupepe · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2006, 08:31:38 AM »

Pretty much Final Fantasy and that's it. Now that they're expanding the Halo franchise, I'll probably buy everything that MS decides to crap out. But usually I just wait to see impressions on the game and decide if I want to get it or not.

morphix · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2006, 10:43:59 AM »

well just about anything but a few of the lesser know ones:

Way of the Samurai

Gundam Battle Assault

.hack RPGs

GunGrave

edit:

I also seem to always buy the Tony Hawk games when I haven't really enjoyed one since the THPS3.

whiteACID · « **Reply #21 on:** October 22, 2006, 01:23:18 PM »

FF
Zelda
Sonic
DDS

Solo · « **Reply #22 on:** October 22, 2006, 01:31:51 PM »

Only Metal Gear.

Fatghost28 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 22, 2006, 04:09:59 PM »

Capcom 2D fighters

I'm really bad, especially for Street Fighter. I not only always get the new release of the same game, but I buy it for every console too.

Catz · « **Reply #24 on:** October 22, 2006, 06:10:58 PM »

Phantasy Star (minus that gay card game version of PSO)
Warcraft
Shining Force
Mario (no mario party games though)

hmm I can't think of any others I consistently buy or follow.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #25 on:** October 22, 2006, 06:27:52 PM »

Nothing. Plenty I would stay away from because of their series.
