Reuse some assets for Metroid Prime 4 to make 5. Then reuse some assets from Tropical Freeze to make a sequel that wraps up Retro's trilogy of DK games.

Given that Prime 4 is a Switch 1 game and Tropical Freeze a Wii U game, I'd rather they not reuse assets but make much better looking ones. 

Unless you meant non-graphical assets like code for things like collision, controls, etc.

Non-graphical if they can.

Asset-reusing sequels are indeed best on the same platform. Games like Majora's Mask and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are beloved. 

And I don't want to underestimate the craft in making a 2D platformer, but it strikes me as something that can be done in 2-4 years, not 5 or longer like some games.
