Game Boy -> Game Boy Color -> Game Boy Advance

DS -> 3DS

NES -> Super Nintendo -> N64 -> GameCube

Wii -> Wii U

Definitely a pattern

Arguably the "gimmick" for the N64 -> GameCube was 3D games and "stock" analog stick, with the c-buttons on the N64 turning into the C-Stick on the GameCube. At launch both the PS1 and Saturn controllers were d-pad only.
