Disappointing news to hear, but I'm glad they are being very open with us about the development of this game. probably shouldn't have been announced so soon, but it was something that had to be done. I really hope that with this news, that does not mean the Star Fox Racing game is cancelled. It sounded so amazing! Retro only has 130 workers according to LinkedIn. With a shit ton of outsourcing, its possible they might have Metriod in per-production right now. It could also mean Star Fox racing is basically done. I just hope that it doesn't mean Star Fox Racing got canned. It was one of my most looked forward to games this year.

Anyways, don't expect this to launch until 2022 at the earliest. Probably 2023 with a split generation launch.

I don't think Nintendo generally takes 3-4 years to make a new game except for maybe Zelda. Also, while they said they are starting over, I'm sure there are plenty of assets already made (or an engine worked on) for the game that they won't restart on, unless they are going for a different art style. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't release it until then, to make it a launch title for Switch 2, but I doubt it will take them that long to make it personally.
