Because in August 2016 Metroid hits its 30th anniversary... and obviously they are not revealing anything before 2015.

Maybe because Metroid is a little bit more for adults and not for kids.

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

People keep telling Nintendo to stop milking franchises, but yet they want them to milk them more.

How about giving Metroid a break and have Retro or whoever else work on something new? Metroid wont disappear and they can always come back to franchise.

those are the trolls not Nintendo fans so their voice really does not count

anywho we will see it at E3 next year for sure
