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.

Checked up on it and it turns out we're both wrong. XD

Assault was 2005, Command was 2006. Editing OP now.
