I want to live in a world where Metroid Prime 4 is the best selling game on Switch 2 and wins all the GOTYs
please?
You and me both, but it will never be a best-selling game. Metroid is and will always be niche compared to Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, etc.

The only way MP4 could take a full 6 years is if it's open world (RIP to another series in that case). It probably just kept getting put on the backburner.
Yeah, I imagine Prime 4 is too demanding for the Switch, so they're holding it for Switch 2. Also makes sense to re-release Prime 2 and 3 first so newbies can catch up. I wouldn't be surprised if Prime 2/3 Remastered gets announced soon (or right after Prime 4 gets announced).

Predictions:
-
Switch 2 releases March 2025
-
Metroid Prime 4 and Mario Odyssey 2 are the marquee launch titles, along with BotW/TotK Remaster (60 FPS, QoL improvements, bonus content, etc.)
-
Fire Emblem Awakening Remastered releases Summer 2025
-
F-Zero SX releases Fall 2025
-
Mario Kart 10 releases November 2025
-
New 2D Zelda, 3D Kirby, Star Fox, Pokemon release in 2026 (in that order)
-
Smash 6 releases in early 2027
-
New 3D Zelda (Open World with Classic-style dungeons) releases late 2028.
There's your future. You're welcome.
