They only teased them. They have yet to show gameplay of either. They showed an in engine model, not gameplay. NT is also a sizeable studio with over 120 people. Nintendo teased Metroid Prime 4 in 2017 and Bayonetta. Atlus SMTV. Seen nothing since. Hellblade 1 was not a large game anyway. 6 hours maybe 8 so it might be easier to get Hellblade out by maybe the end of this year or a 2021 game. Do you people really not know how game development works?

Pre HD era the average length was 18 months. Now it can average 2-4 years. Have you not noticed the slower output of most developers. 6th gen companies pumped out several sequels and IPs in 5 years. 7th gen they slowed to mostly being a couple of IPs and the rest outsourced. Some studios have the manpower and/or insane crunch to pump out more. These days it might be 1-3 games entire gen. If they have more it's much much smaller projects.

Why coulnd any of the other studios tease anything then? Yea that sucks for nintendo and trust me Im mad about metroid as well and I will also hold them to the same standard, not try to cover for them. Your trying to make excuses now. Ninja theory released a game this year, Bleading Edge, wich was not well received and has 2 other games in the works aparantly with only a 120 man crew, wich is still small compared to devs. Specially with the suposed $$$ of MS everyone keeps going on about. There is no reason to hold NT to a diferent standard than any of the other devs they have adquired. 

Bleeding Edge was in development a couple of years before MS bought them. I would never make an excuse for a developer I fucking despise. I hate and I mean I HATE NT.  There is no standard being held. Just fact games take time. How one studio is able to get something out has nothing to do with the other as each situation is different. Some studios are smaller and have different talent meant for different things.
