Was going back over Nintendo IPs and realized some other extended breaks:

Pilot Wings 64 to Pilot Wings Resort  (15 years)

Excitebike to Excitebike 64  (15 years)

Punch Out SNES to Punch Out Wii  (15 years)

Pikmin 2 to Pikmin 3  (9 years)

Golden Sun to Golden Sun Dark Dawn  (9 years)

Sin & Punishment to Sin & Punishment 2  (9 years)

Super Metroid to Metroid Prime  (8 years)

Wave Race (14 years and counting)

1080° (12 years and counting)

Diddy Kong Racing (18 years and counting)

Mario Paint (23 years and counting)

EarthBound (20 years and counting)

9 years; Mother 3 came out in 2006. :p

*Runs*

Seriously though, Nintendo's knack of locking away its 2nd tier franchises in the subterranean dragon-guarded vaults below EAD headquarters is extraordinary.
