Why just this year? It has already been 5 years since their last game...hell we still do not even know exactly what they are doing. I'd say a cause for concern is more than justified right now, even without these negative reviews.

It's been closer to 4.5 years. Which honestly, isn't even odd or unheard of this generation. It's just not common for Nintendo games, because they often don't require the resources other triple A games do. And technically, their last game was actually pretty recent ... they handled the port for Tropical Freeze in house
And I didn't say there wasn't a cause for concern, there is. I'm concerned, most people are I think. At the same time, the mass hysteria, and the blind acceptance of Retro's status as some kind of shit, D-tier Nintendo studio, is just sad. I know that some people (like Jump) are probably just saying it to get a reaction or to be edgy, but the point is that a lot of people who were fans are no longer because they'd rather be impatient than just wait for more information. We all have breaking points, mine hasn't been reached yet. I'd rather have this then Breath of the Wild, or Bayonetta 3, or Metroid Prime 4, or Death Stranding, or The Last of Us 2, games that - while show off their consoles extremely well - are announced too early. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that it has taken Retro just too long in general to get a product out there, but again these development times are not odd industry-wide.
I find there's a certain irony in the fact that people were so happy with Nintendo's approach to reveal games only a few months or a year before their release, and now that that kind of thing is being applied to Retro, well fuck off Retro! We need r gamez now! As much as I would love Retro to announce a game soon, I honestly wouldn't mind waiting until it's a bit closer to the release date.
