Of course it was! Even if it's just the online which is extremely doubtful as that does not take months and months, it's still a developmental issue! Also all games sell better during the Holidays. Nintendo knows this obviously, so they would of just given it a holiday release in the first place if that's what they wanted to do.

It's not "months and months". The game is releasing in Japan in September, meaning less than a month delay from the most likely release date they intended. And games sell better during the holidays, but releasing both games simultaneously is a bad idea, because they'll eat into each others' sales. But too far apart, and one of the two will have reduced sales due to release period. One is releasing in early October, the other in late November or early December. This gives a comfortable 2 month window.
