There are some games in a long standing Series of games that well just aren't needed. I am of course talking about sequels that are really remakes of games or Sequels to sequels.
FOR INSTANCE
In the Poke'Mon Series you have games like Leaf Green; Fire Red; Heart Gold; Soul Silver; Crystal; Emerald; Platinum, these games are simply remakes or reworked versions of previous titles used to bridge the gap while Game freak creates the next Generation. I am SURE after Black & White (Poke'Mon Generation 5) is released something like Body Crystal is gonna be released. Are these game beneficial to the on going story yes and no Emerald and Platinum are continuations to their Generation's specific story, where as LG,FR,HG,SS are just remakes of their original versions with some new tweeks.
Then you have the famous/infamous Final Fantasy Series as series that has so much love and hate it is scary. For the most part it is rather straight forward in it's idea each title is a new story. But you have those stray dogs in there like the Tactics series, and dare I say X-2. Some Final Fantasy games have spawned off shoot stories for their worlds like the Ivalecie (Spelling Error and I am too lazy to look it up) games. Some of them are really really good, but still unneeded. Each game in the Final Fantasy Series should be what it is a stand alone game. I love Final Fantasy but there is only so much I can take and I nearly stopped playing all together after X.
I am sure you can find a lot of games in different series that should have never been brought to the light of day. BUT for every bad game, there is a good game waiting in the wings.
