Will the series ever end?

[Fatmanonice]

Probably not. They usually just give the less popular franchises long hiatus's until people start to care again like they did with Metroid.

1. Metroid Prime was supposed to be for the N64, but it took too long.
2. we always cared about Metroid.

Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid and Pokemon. That is all.

[Lotos]

They may try to merge DK with Mario, I mean, they're doing it now.

[Kraziwun]

There's no way they'd drop Mario, he's their icon.

If they dropped Zelda I'd probably give up on Nintendo altogether.

Pokemon is one of those that keeps making them money... in my opinion it'd be stupid for them to drop that.

Mario - Main Icon + Money maker
Zelda - Adventure Franchise
Kirby - Casual franchise
Metroid - Shooter Franchise
DK/ Starfox / F Zero = No current projects, lets make a game
Pokemon = It prints money

I hope they hold on to Zelda until they die too! That would blow so much if they go rid of it.
