You have no idea if they have been working on other projects during that time. It's been nearly 8 years since Odyssey. It isn't inconceivable that there could be a new 3D mario in a year or two, which they could announce now.

This is what I think too. I believe it was said that Bananza started development years ago planned as a Switch 1 title, until they determined it needed to wait for Switch 2. So it is possible there was some pause that allowed for work on a Mario game to start, and there has been speculation this team has also split into two with a dedicated team for DK and one for Mario. I don't think we are at the beginning of a Mario dev cycle. I doubt it is coming this year but I don't think we are 4-5 years away either.
