1. I've never EVER EVERY heard any company use the term winter 14 to refer to a release date outside of 2014. Fiscal year and sports year is really the only time I've seen dates work that way. Not saying it is impossible, but it would be a first as far as I know.
2. Believe it or not, but Nintendo needs the 3DS sales. They can't be like "nah we sold enough. We're done." They need some big releases this year, and IF the Wii U version isn't going to be ready until winter, they either delay 3DS version to 2015, or do a simultaneous release. I'm not sure where people got the idea that 3DS sales are perfectly acceptable because they really aren't.
3. -_-; The Wii U version will have its own modes. Are people criticizing Nintendo for giving customers a reason to buy multiple versions and making two systems stand apart? People complain about Sony doing the opposite all the time. Make up your minds.
4. HD development takes longer. And no, throwing more developers will not necessarily make things go faster. See diminishing returns.
5. I for one am kind of happy that I can play the 3DS version when its ready instead of it being delayed months for business reasons... If releasing it alongside the Wii U version was a bad idea.
6. No really, think about it. How would you feel if we found out the 3DS version was sitting on a cart waiting to be played but Nintendo was delaying it because they wanted the Wii U version out first. People are complaining that a game wasn't delayed... ok then...
