On topic: As for SS' release date, I think it will be mid 2011.  Remember that all we saw of Other M in E3 2009 was a slightly confusing trailer and that came out August/September 2010.  Also remember Galaxy 2 only had a trailer, I guess that the game only needed a bit of tweaking of the Galaxy engine though, rather than built from scratch.  Skyward Sword on the other hand had gameplay at E3 2010, somewhat suggesting it will be out in early/mid 2011.

And before anyone points it out, I do realise that Golden Sun DD was revealed (with gameplay; albeit very minor) at E3 2009.  Though I think that that is the exception rather than the rule.

But remember that the gameplay was supposedly pure demo, meaning they had the engine up and running in its entirety, as well as models for Link and his foes and some basic textures and stuff, but the rest of the world, story, NPCs, dungeons and a large percentage of enemies might have not existed as of E3 2010.

Galaxy 2 and Other M trailers at E3 09 showed a variety of environments from all throughout both games

That, and i remember that it was said that SS's gameplay and cotrols were being developed before the story and that they had the priority in the beginning, they'd create the worlds and levels/dungeons after they were done with the main gameplay
