Video game franchises grouped by genre.

All information is taken directly from the Wiki article about each video game franchise or from Wiki articles about individual games in a franchise. This page should NOT contain new information that requires a reference.

In each table

The "Title" value should link to a Wiki article about the franchise, NOT to a Wiki article about an individual game.

The "Platforms" value shows a union of platforms for all games in a franchise. The number in parentheses beside each platform indicates the number of games in the franchise that run on the platform.
