Vague announcement doesn't necessarily mean anything but it more than likely means a game is very early in development, which was further implied by what has been said about these games since and how nothing has been shown yet. We also know nothing about their budget or time demands, but it's as simple as looking back to the Prime Trilogy and the two Bayonetta games we've had so far to see that these are supposed to be high-profile releases that do require a good amount of time and money to make, there is no reason why Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 wouldn't follow suit and in fact nothing so far has indicated they wouldn't. In fact, I suggest you go back to Nintendo's 2017 E3 presentation and watch the Prime 4 announcement. Yes, they say "now in development for Nintendo Switch", which does imply it's early in development (never mind Reggie later stating they purposefully showed the game earlier than usual to appease fans), but what I really want you to take note of is what comes right after it. It was a new game announcement with plenty of gameplay going on and all - that game was Yoshi's Crafted World, which is only set to release this year. I don't think the Yoshi game with loads of gameplay shown and the "logo and a 4" trailer were just a few months apart. |
A holiday 2019 release is 2.5 years after the reveal and Yoshi is a bad example because it was originally supposed to release in 2018 but got delayed.
