The sequel to Super Metroid is called Metroid Fusion and released in 2002 for the GBA. The sequel to Metroid Fusion is Metroid Dread.
Metroid Prime 4 is the sequel to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption released on the Wii in 2007.
Metroid Prime 4 development was restarted in January 2019 and moved from Bandai Namco to Retro Studios. 3.5 years is not to long and it's most certainly not vaporware.

I’m quite aware of the multiple updates on Metroid prime 4. I worked at Nintendo of America when it was first announced. I remember having an evaluation with a superior and she remarked at how excited she was about it. I was silent because I knew it meant little.
When GameCube came out, they at least showed a demo of what it Might look like. To me that’s something.
When N64 came out, we were told in magazines that the sequel to Super Metroid was “in development”.Sure we got the game, eventually… a console later. But holding your breath that long does damage.
”In development” is where we are standing with MP4. I’m willing to make a bet that it doesn’t come to switch at all.

So what do you expect how long it's development will take?
You do realize it's not just in the concept stage or something like that. Bayonetta 3 and Shin Megami Tensei V were also revealed in 2017 and released because development hadn't restarted.

I expect the development of Metroid Prime 4 to take less than 4 years. Nintendo doesn’t make a lot of money on the Metroid franchise. They aren’t going to spend more money developing Metroid than they’d spend on their more popular IPs. 5 years is longer than it takes to develop their Mario and Zelda titles, right?
I do see your point about bayonetta 3.
