I first played 2 on my cousins GBA. Shortly after I returned to emulation of the GBA (I played it when it first kicked off but lacked a killer machine so returned to megadrive and PS1), got a flash cart, got a GBA.
I once read a review of one of the later games in the series (might have been 5 as it was in Europe) on gamecentral (I really hate to link wikipedia but unlike a cursory search of the teletex website it actually seems to be organised a bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCentral#External_links ) where despite their usual lack of fondness for numerical scores they said
8/10 or something taking 1 for every game in the series you played. I agree on that one for the most part.
DS: played the 5th one after I replaced the sound with the Japanese version. Enjoyable but the same played it before happened (also I really do not like the ending one game as a god* and coming back pretty much as the worst person out there).
Played the 3d versions: I enjoyed it, yeah it got to the point where I was holding myself back but once I did I enjoyed it.
*in my experience only one game made this passable and even then that was not exactly sequel based: Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes where you are resurrected at the start of the game and parts of your weapons are "dispersed" among the lands.
Failing that I attribute it to one of those gaming laws like infinite shield space, dead body collector, ever advancing towns..... where all the enemies decided if 30 hours was all they needed to improve their skills they would go for it.
Assassin's creed and Metroid do not count as far as I am concerned although losing advanced swordfighting was a bit odd.
