You can transfer items and game status from Shenmue to Shenmue II.
You can transfer characters from Lego Star Wars to Lego Star Wars II.

But IMO the best connection between two video games are Transfer Pak features in Mario Tennis. You can transfer GBC characters and text to N64 version and also unlock some courts. Then you can transfer N64 characters to GBC version. It works great.
