So FF is ineligible, for example, because it's an anthology sort of deal. Or I guess it doesn't have to be inegible completely; like we could count 13, 13-2 and Lightning Returns as a 3-installment series, if that makes any sense. --- Arguing on CE be all like: https://youtu.be/JpRKrs67lOs?si=kPGA2RCKVHTdbVrJ ...

Does Space Invaders count? What about Resident Evil? It's had remasters but they've more or less kept the same continuity? Actually Metal Gear has kept the same continuity since 1987 despite many retcons. That's 38 years with a shit ton of games. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ...

Do we count each version of Pokemon as separate games? Because that would be a contender. Also Sonic thanks to the recent official timeline. And there is of course Zelda. UnfairRepresent posted... Does Space Invaders count? It's...maybe 10 or so.

The Mega Man classic continuity has a couple dozen. Being super conservative, I would count 1-11, &B, X 1-8, Zero 1-4, ZX, ZXA, Legends 1-2 and Misadventures, which is 30. I'd earnestly argue that the Gameboy games, Challenger from the Future and Xtreme 1-2 at a minimum are also canon (for a total of 38), but that's a little more up for debate. --- Arguing on CE be all like: https://youtu.be/JpRKrs67lOs?si=kPGA2RCKVHTdbVrJ ...

Nayuta has nothing to do with the other Trails it's just in name only. And legend of heroes isn't even the whole continuity. The Legend of Heroes 1 is a spinoff of Dragon Slayer so if you're counting Trails as part of all legend of Heroes then your should count it as part of dragon Slayer as well.
