It's time for Metroid Dread. Dead. Dread.
My impossible dream : Banjo-Threeie which was a tech-demo on Gamecube.

Nate has said that it wasn't originally a Nintendo game so people should be looking at stuff like Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third rather than Pikmin 4 or Metroid Dread.
Based on what I've read, it's gotta be Scalebound. Whether that is Scalebound as we knew it or a re-imagination of Scalebound, which would be more likely.
Just found out about this, too:
It was hinted that it was not a project developed by Nintendo.
I'd like it to be MML3 or Nintendo's take on Silent Hill but I don't think these are happening based on what I've been reading.

Not sure why people are naming third party titles. Likely this is a first party only title.
I would love this to be true but I just want Mistwalker to come back to consoles again. Their mobile games were interesting experiments but none of them were as enjoyable as their console titles.

Maybe not publicly but where the hell is it if it's not cancelled ?
Apparently it's a third party game, but brought back to life by Nintendo. (So it become a first party game. But from a third party serie)
Also, game that was announced and cancelled, so no things such as Metal Gear Rising 2 for instance.
TS4 was cancelled long ago, and THQ Nordic just got the rights last year.
Believe.
If a new TimeSplitters is a Switch exclusive, I'll quit gaming tbh.
From what we know or can try to guess:
1) It's not a Nintendo game
2) It has to be a type of game Nintendo doesn't do
3) The cancellation could have been quite noisy, if Imran emphasizes it; and noisy cancellations happen for relatively ambitious projects which appeal to mostly core players.
4) If Nintendo is "reviving" it, I would guess that they do not start from scratch, and thus the project is probably current gen, or at worst from the ps360 generation. I'm leaning toward something recent because that's what I hope, but also because it's what makes the most sense to salvage in my opinion.
5) To finish with this total speculation, if Imran felt it was worth mentionning, while perfectly knowing that it would be heavily discussed, I feel that it has to be something big.
I know it's not the most popular opinion, for very good reasons, but my money is still on Scalebound being revived.

Haaa! Project HAMMER was my first thought too XD
Though I'd say maybe Metroid Dread? But people are still half expecting that so eh.

Listened to the episode last week there is more context and is was about the investor call said that surpriced game for nintendo gamers comment from Nintendo itself.
in development
Pikmin 3 was in development for a million years and Pikmin 4 is just following in its footsteps
It's Federation Force 2, it was announced and cancelled whilst no one was looking and now it's back with a vengeance.
Because Imran has dropped hints like this in the past that came true. Like, end of November on the GI show he said a new Zelda game is coming sooner than we think, but didn't wanna get into details and then sure enough Links Awakening was just announced.
i saw the title and for a moment thought there was going to be a horror game based on the movie coming out.

The game never looked good anyway, they would have been better off scrapping a lot of it if it ever was revived. I assume Microsoft own the rights and assets anyway
That was old and delayed Scalebound. This would be new hotness Scalebound.
I also put my money on Scalebound.
I know it sounds stupid, why would Nintendo buy the rights to Microsoft ? Why not just make a new IP similar to Scalebound ?
I dunno, Nintendo and PlatinumGames/Kamiya have a good damn relationship, Scalebound was Kamiya's dream project. Nintendo and Microsoft seem to have some little business together and it seems to go well.
Just for the "holy shit !" reactions I could see Nintendo reviving it. That's good promotion for Nintendo. Kamiya's cancelled dream project, brought back to like by Nintendo.

I think the most fitting one from the hints i've seen is Silent Hills. There was a hint that it might be co published. I dont see Microsoft co publishing Scalebound. Now there's also some other plausible options but from the way its been runored (something surprising) it seems to me that Silent Hills fits the description the most. It aldo fits with game dev timelines with Kojima leading the project.
Nope. It's apparently not a previously Nintendo-published game.
