Seeing as how Starfox and Ocarina of Time are both exclusive, I would expect more Nintendo first party games to start becoming exclusive going forward. In previous new console cycles, this is roughly the timeframe the previous gen was dropped. But maybe Nintendo will do it a little differently this time given the size of the Switch 1 userbase.
I hope it is not locked to the S2…
If it’s another side-scroller, it definitely could be both, but we’re definitely in the console refresh cycle where AAA S1 games stop being made.
I do hope it is a side-scroller. I quite enjoyed Dread (and prior ones).
Loved Dread! and we just had Prime 4, so it makes sense for a side scrolling Metroid to be next.
S1 is really showing its age. We’ve got new hardware, they should use it.

A new first party game over a year into the current generation? It’s difficult to imagine it would be made for the previous generation.
