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.

Yeah, though I'd consider that a spin-off, it's true they at least kept that series alive in the meantime.

It's hard to believe that they later went on to make Galaxy. Although some elements of Jungle Beat can be found in Galaxy.
