Or, you know, until XCX launches.  Then Twilight Princess HD, then Pokken, then Star Fox, then Genei Ibun Roku #FE, then Zelda, then...you get the idea.  This whole "filler until NX" crap is just ridiculous. This is EXACTLY like late 2014 to early 2015.  A few easy, small titles to pad a gap in the release schedule.  It's not to "delay until NX."

Remaster done by Tantalus

Port fo Arcades

Delayed from 2015

Announced in 2013

Delayed from 2015

Yes, the remaster is done by Tantalus.  The arcade port argument is pretty weak sauce since the thing was almost certainly in development for Wii U the whole time and aside from that most fighting games get arcade versions anyway.  The announcement dates and delays you listed are only relevant if you are asserting they delayed them after they were totally finished and those devs are working on something else. If they've been worked on this whole time the delays are somewhat embarrassing but not some argument that Nintendo is just making filler for NX.  Since that statement would imply that all or most of their teams are on NX and these games are totally done. Which we know is bogus for all but XCX which is in localization.
