Spinoff turns into the main series

GTA Online

Pokémon in the near future

Puyo Puyo

Didnt SMT start as a novel that got a spinoff game that caused more spinoffs to be made
What even is the real mainline at this point

World of Warcraft lol

Assassin's Creed

Anyone here know why Persona 5 is collaborating with Identity V? Seems weird to me.

A spinoff is still a spinoff.
Im suprised that Mario is actually a spinoff of Donkey Kong.
Cranky Kong is our lord and saviour.

Megami Tensei started as a novel, then became a game. SHIN Megami Tensei is a spin-off of Megami Tensei.

neir comes to mind. We will never see another drakengaurd again but I can see us getting another neir game.

nier barely counts as a spinoff desu, may as well be a new series

Counter Strike

Diablo Immortal

>the spirit of mainline becomes a character to fight off the encroaching Persona-fication of its games

>character basically gets told off by his mom
Come on Dagda, you were really cool up until then

Nier

Technically Mario bros is a spin off of Donkey Kong

Wario's 2D platformers -> WarioWare

This.

Mario Land into Wario Land

It isn't though. It's just the more popular one.
Just like how every Pokemon spin off is better than any mainline pokemon game.

Nier? I mean i don't think alot of people even played Drakengard 3

I hate you people so much.

There are literally just as many Shin Megami Tensei spinoffs and mainline games as there are fucking Persona games yet you SMT fags still CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN and act like you're being shafted.

At least they still make good SMT games. Be grateful you dumb fucks.

Meanwhile in reality SMTV is delayed as hell because they need to make more Persona 5 shit.

I can't find ANY evidence that a release date was announced and that release date was delayed. There is no evidence that it's been delayed at ALL or that it was delayed because they need to make "more Persona 5 shit".

You have literally no evidence to back up these claims. I am SURE that Atlus has multiple development studios that are working on MULTIPLE games.

I’m pretty sure Atlus has two dev teams for SMT and Persona respectively

Starsiege was just an attempt to cash in on mws popularity. Tribes had soul

I want to rape himiko

Super Mario Bros. was never meant to be anything but a cheap knockoff but all the casuals couldn't grasp the superior platforming of Mario Bros. so here we are.

Im playing it right now and it feels so weird. Like I feel Dagda is smt reincarnated trying to guide my hand into doing shit I dont feel comfortable doing, but at the same time these 2 retards are accompanying me and putting comedy where it doesnt belong. If Asahi has another stupid plan and forces me to do it then I guess Ill have to kill them all.

Where's my Krishna bros?

No

>Mario Bros is a spinoff of Donkey Kang
>Mario Land is spinoff of Mario Bros
>Wario Land is a spinoff of that
>Ware itself is a spinoff of Land (or just Wario in general)
>Rhythm Tengoku is technically a spinoff of Wario Ware

Wario just constantly cannibalizes himself

Bump

SMT isn't the main series retard

So what is the main one, Digital Devil Story? They haven't made one under that name since the NES. Would that make Digital Devil Saga the only main games in the series?

>superior platforming of Mario Bros.
i bet you jerk it to Ice Climbers physics too

FUCKING
RABBIDS

Not him but I do. IC is underrated and I would love to see another game use the same physics someday.
