The last one was Yoshi's Story on the N64 in 1998, three generations ago.

For a company with a reputation for milking their brands, Nintendo sure has a thing for putting franchises on ice for extended periods.

By the same token it's been 10 years since the last Starfox, (12 years on consoles) 11 years since the last F-Zero... (12 years on consoles)

Then there's Kid Icarus, which was dormant for 26 years.

Actually last StarFox was 2004, Assault. It's been 8 years since the last original StarFox game (Command in 2007 for DS). 11 and 8, not 10 and 12.
