You forgot about Hunters and Pimball :P

I believe Retro will come back to doing a Metroid game, but now a 2D decent one, since Iwata will fire Sakamoto for going insane (I would at least).

lol.  Iwata's more likely to shut down Retro than he is fire Sakamoto.  SPD1 has at least proven they can craft original hits (Wario Ware, Rhythm Heaven, Tomodachi Collection), which more than can be said for Retro.  Other M might've bombed, but SPD1's been so overwhelmingly successful (on such tiny budgets), that it doesn't matter.

I don't recall saying SPD1. Just firing Sakamoto is enough, bring another dude on his place, because it is obvious he doesn't know how to run his job.

He knew exactly what Nintendo told him to do. If Nintendo had thought Other M was going badly at any point in its development, they would have scrapped it. Now under the Yamauchi regime, Sakamoto might've been fired as a sacrificial lamb (i mean they did it to Gunpei Yokoi, and he was coeval with Miyamoto in his time), but Iwata knows a moneymaker when he sees one
