@monorail I was thinking about this, and it occurred to me that Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and A Link Between Worlds are basically the same thing for the Zelda series.

re: super mario take 

@monorail I want to try to think of other cases of this, but I can't think of many other series that span 2D and 3D both, with distinct styles for both.

Metroid, maybe, but it doesn't have any entries that we're aware of that blur the line. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Suikoden, and a number of other RPG series have 2D and 3D entries, but they don't have much if any playstyle difference between them.
