Any other studio inside or outside of Nintendo could already have been working on a new non-Prime Metroid game, and Reggie implied as much last year.

When was this, and what did he say exactly? I cannot recall.

June 2014: "So it has been a while since we released the last one and we're having discussions internally about what we can do next. So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we'll be able to share something about them." - Shinya Takahashi, aka the boss of both Yoshio Sakamoto (creator of Metroid) and Kensuke Tanabe (producer of Metroid Prime)

June 2015: "I said this at the beginning, but I’m not involved in the 2D Metroid games that [Yoshio] Sakamoto works on." - Kensuke Tanabe, when asked whether Federation Force is the only Metroid game he's working on.

June 2015: "We also know that the best way to launch a (traditional Metroid game) is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years." - Reggie

The implications here are so obvious it pains me to see people whining about how Nintendo won't give us what we want. Sakamoto is currently working on a new 2D Metroid game. It will be revealed shortly before launch, because Metroid is more like Star Fox and less like Zelda.
