The main teams moved on after 2004 but 2005 still had pretty decent support from Nintendo-published titles.

Battalion Wars

Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix

Donkey Konga 2

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Geist

Mario Party 7

Mario Superstar Baseball

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

Star Fox: Assault

Super Mario Strikers

They basically turned the GameCube into the Mario spin-off machine after 2004. Mario dance dance revolution! Mario soccer! Mario baseball! Mario Party! 

lol. 

All those games were farmed out projects too, basically the main EAD teams, Retro, NST, etc. stopped making GameCube only games after 2004. 

Yep, spinoffs+outsourced titles+lower tier IP is what 2005 got so 2016 could see the same for Wii U.
