So, the majority of the games you listed had the last game in the series come out 5 or more years ago (usually more). The few that survive to now are usually very small titles, many download-only, and most have terrible metacritic scores.

But yeah, let's end this.

That's not unusual for Nintendo.  For instance, Brawl came out over 6 years ago.  Does that really matter? 

The difference is, SSB is a huge IP for Nintendo that generates them revenue and is over a decade old. The franchises they developed after 2001 are usually lucky if they see a sequel in the first two or three years. Anymore and the odds become slim to none.
