It's a question of who is going to develop it. Nintendo doesn't seem to be as willing to farm out franchises now (Other M doesn't quite count, since it's members of the old Metroid team put together with staffers from a 3rd party), and clearly they seem to be having trouble getting the games they have out on a timely basis.
I mean, each EAD group has a game releasing imminently that would be occupying their time, and we know what most of the internal teams are occupied with.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
