Wii U's lifespan was 4.5 years, not 6-7.
Although I don't disagree. If they develop it almost all this year, and almost all 2020, then I could see it coming out in late 2021 or early 2022.
People seem to forget, early 2022 is only the Switch's fifth year. If the Switch has a 6-7 year life cycle (i'm betting more on 6-6.5 than 7 before a successor) then I don't see why it can't be done before it just gets inevitably delayed for cross-gen purposes. Metroid doesn't necessarily need more than 3 years of development.
