Games get canned all the time. Some near finished often. It just happens. Near finished doesn't mean they were satisfied with it. May as well consider Pikmin 4 canned at this point. It was supposedly near finished 5 years ago. Project Robot was canned tho we don't know how far along it was.

Don't forget Star Fox 2, which would've been released for 1996 on the Super NES, but wouldn't see an actual release until 2017 on the SNES Classics, as a sort of lost episode for Star Fox.

It's true we don't know exactly what happened, but the end result is the same; the last time they released a new game was 6 years ago. I find it hard to imagine Nintendo canning an almost finished game for no good reason. Something at Retro clearly went horribly wrong and we just don't know if the Retro of today and recent years is even capable of what they once were.

Starfox 2.
