I have no problem at all with sequels as long as the gameplay is still good... like Mega Man games -- I still find them a lot of fun and don't mind so little change...
Mario? There haven't been many true Mario games... 2 3d platformers in the last 6 1/2 years... and the last true new Mario sidescroller came out in 1993 or so (SML2 on GB)... so that one's out. Zelda has kept changing too... and usually, but not not always, for the better.
I don't get why people say those games have so many sequels when Mario clearly hasn't in recent years and Zelda has some similar gameplay but enough changes in each one to clearly make them different...
Anyway, sequels are fine as long as the gameplay is still fun... the problem is when it isn't. Like Tomb Raider... that game was awful from the beginning and I'm happy that its kind of gone away now... stupid game...
Yoshi's Island was the last true 2D Mario game, whether you want to acknowledge it or not (the title is Mario World 2). They just changed everything so drastically that you don't want to accept it as a Mario game. But it is a true Mario game, since it was a platformer where you controlled Mario (in a way).
