It seems that older spin offs have more of a charm than the newer ones. Most newer spin offs don't do as well as older ones in the eyes of most players, especially the older players. There's occasionally a gem in a pile of rocks, but for the most part, people seem to prefer older spin offs than newer and/or don't even touch newer ones.
To clarify, I'm referring to all gen I-III spin offs as the "older" and the gen IV-V as the newer. However, one might argue gen III, being in the middle, is still old. So that might be personal preference.
So what do you think? Are older spin offs really better? Are they running out of ideas when it comes to spin offs these days? Are there too many spin offs (obviously there are more cranked out with each generation than there was in the generations before)? Feel free to add in anything else you see fit.
