1. You "remember hearing" that dev restarted? Nintendo said it explicitly.
2. It will take 2-3 years minimum. It's a 2021 title at best. No one should have expected anything at e3. They told you it was restarted because it will be a long time. We won't see it until late 2020 at the earliest
3. Nintendo's last CEO, the one in charge when Switch launched, said they wanted switch to last longer than a normal console cycle, which is 5-6 years. So going by 2017, that means 2023. With node shrinks and such, I think 3 or 5nm, maybe stacked boards, etc will also help them wait until 2023-24 for next gen so I wouldn't worry about MP4 being put on next gen. Next gen is still 4-5 years away for Nintendo

Not concerned at all. Development only restarted a few months ago, and they were straight up about it. It will be fine.
With all the bombs Nintendo dropped I completely forgot about it. I would totally buy and play it too.
Concerned? Of course not. The game won't be out for another 3 years. We won't see anything until after Metroid Prime Collection is released which probably will be late 2020. So until E3 2021 they won't show anything.
I feel like nintendo made the video talking about how it just restarted development just so that we wouldnt expect any news this year.
Although a part of me was hoping for something like, whoops! We restarted development and that sucks, sorry. Look forward to metroid prime trilogy on switch to tide you over!

Bruh they learned to not show a logo for a game far from release. They wouldn't do it again.
Prime 4 wasn't ever going to be showable after 4 months of development, no reason to be worried.
It was a bit disappointing we didn't get any sort of Metroid (MPT or new 2D Metroid)

Concerned? No, not at all. They just show a logo next year, they did the same with BOTW this E3.
I'm more concerned by the fact that we don't heard any news on SMT V.

I think most be would have seen would be a Samus model in a T-Pose if they had shown anything lol.
Hearing what would Retro has been up to in the last 5 years would have been more interesting.
It's not the same Retro that worked on the original Trilogy but there should still be some of that there.
I am not concerned about Prime 4 until 2021.
If we haven't heard anything then I will be.

That was a different type of game in a different era of game design. Sakurai himself said development of the game destroyed his health.
And so many characters were not able to be included due to the crunch. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the best games of all time. But the scope of such a project is different from something like a full 3D 1st person adventure in the HD era. And SSBM is more of a miracle project rather than the standard of which all other games should be judged.
Nintendo released a video back in January regretfully informing us that the game had been recently restarted in development and will be in developed by Retro Studios.
Didn't they start development over earlier this year? I wouldn't want to see anything just yet..
I mean, they just this year announced that the development was restarted from scratch. What did you expect? Games of that caliber take 3-4 years to develop from original brainstorm to final product, if not more. I would expect they're not going to have to show until E3 2021 at the earliest. And if they show something before that, it's going to be a "target" type pre-rendered cinematic.
They literally changed development studios like a few months ago. So no, I'm not shocked it has nothing to show. I would imagine the Namco stuff is going to mostly get scrapped, and Retro Studios is going to do stuff from the ground up.
Considering all they showed was a logo... nope. It's way out there.
They only showed it because people wouldn't shut up about it and let them reveal it on their own schedule.
I think once we get the trilogy remastered out on Switch, we will be in the "home stretch."

Since they started redevelopment just a while ago, nope. I'm more surprised we didn't get Bayonetta 3 info.
Games not gonna come out for, probably, another 2 or 2 and a half years. They probably have nothing to show us. Little is probably finalized.
