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?

That would mean it would release early next year, which I personally doubt. Even if it's holiday next year, it's still going to release on the current Switch, even in the unlikely case of the successor releasing in 2023.

Idk how long SMO's development took, but BotW was in development for over 5 years and it's sequel's development will have taken 6 years if it releases in Spring 2023 like announced.
