I was 10 (and a half, as a kid of the age would not neglect to mention) and I remember it as if it was just last week. The N64 launch with Mario 64 as well. Time flies, it's unbelievable. Donkey Kong Country also had a 14 year gap between 3 and Returns. Even if you count 64, that's still 11 whopping years! This all makes me think of this unrelated note; It's weird though, in my memory, the time it took for the GameCube port of Ocarina to release after the original felt like it was much more than it actually was, while it feels like it took less time for OoT3D to release after that. OoT itself however feels like it was much older when the remake came than MM, while in reality OoT was newer relative to it's remake than MM is. I think it's because things seem longer when you're younger yourself, but it's funny how time plays with your head like that |

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat in 2005 provided fans something to enjoy on consoles. So technically its more like a 5 year gap, the same amount of time Metroid is approaching.
