I maybe overlapping but Nintendo franchises and their third parites of the NES/SNES era have held on strong.
Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Kirby, Kid Icarus, ...Wars, Custom Robo, Chibi Robo, Metroid, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Sports(golf, tennis), Donkey Kong/Countryl Luigi's Mansion, Pilotwings, Wave Race, Animal Crossing, Pokemon

Castlevania, Mega Man, Gradius, TMNT, DOOM, Bomberman, FInal Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Lunar, Duck Tales, Rayman, Resident Evil, Indiana Jones, Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter, Lufia, Ninja Gaiden, Pocky & Rocky, Ys, Conker, Crusin(USA, World, Exotica), Goemon/Mystical Ninja, Star Wars, Warcraft and Starcraft, Perfect Dark, James Bond, Wing Commander, Metal Gear, Bonk, Tales of...(franchise), Sonic

That help? If you throw in Sony they're aging enough now you have mainstays too with various things from Spyro and Crash to God of War, Uncharted, Civilization, Tomb Raider, and more.

It's probably harder to find series that haven't been available on multiple generations of systems. Single games, sure, plenty of those, but once they go series, they're probably going to wind up on at least two generations.

IIRC there were 4 games in the James Pond series on the Mega Drive but none afterwards. Struggling to think of any other series that managed 5 games in one generation and none in any others.

James Pond was ported to the Game Boy Advance, if that counts.
