No Metriod Til Atleast 2019 Seriously Nintendo?

I wouldn't mind a 2d version, probably wouldn't take as long to develop.

I think people are too hard on nintendo... Developing games takes much longer than it used to, is much more expensive, and people expect them to churn out a mario game or two, a mario kart, a super smash, probably a Splatoon now and a zelda title each console while also wanting new installments from other franchises like Pikmin, Kirby, Metroid, Yoshi, Star Fox, Mario Party, f-zero, donkey kong etc, while also calling for new IP's to be introduced. Meanwhile, they're also trying to churn out enough games for their handheld simultaneously... This may have been possible in the 16 bit era but it's asking a darn lot today.

Really, I think more than anything that might be what's pushing them to consider linking the two platforms, as there's simply no way they can please everyone with how long games take to develop when they're also splitting their library in two.

This is why I'm in favor of them porting a number of the Wii U games, such as the recent smash bros and mario maker, to the NX. Both games are superb, they'd be hard to top (Sakurai might work himself to death trying to get another one ready), and would free up resources to work on other games while helping their early Nx library. Really, as a wii u owner I'm not at all offended by the idea of them porting some of their games, a few of which went criminally under appreciated. The truth is I've gotten more than enough out of this console and, while I imagine the ps4 will eventually pass it, my library is pretty darn robust at this point.

Otherwise, they might also want to consider doing more collaborations like they did with the dynasty warriors boys for Hyrule Warriors. Might help ease the load a bit.
