I think it's perfectly fine as long as they turn out as good or better than their precursor.
Not a good example of this, but Popeye 3 is a terrible wrestling game, while Popeye 2 is a mediocre platformer. Popeye 1 doesn't even exist on the Amiga, though kind of does on the 8-bit systems.
RoboCod dispensed with most of James Pond's underwater levels and introduced vehicles and an insane speed boost.
Gauntlet III went isometric, leading on from two top-down arcade ports.
One Step Beyond features a new protagonist sprite and revamped mechanics, to its detriment in my opinion. Not so fondly remembered that one. Never met a Colin Curley fan!
The Bubble Bobble series kicked our expectations to the curb with each successive release. I think they improve chronologically, personally. Ooh 'eck, controversial!
Robocop 3 went 3D. This has never appealed to me one iota. It's a bit like opening your Christmas presents then playing with the boxes... under water.
