I just can't see it happening. They NEED to sell amiibo toys this holiday, without Smash Brothers, there's no real strong corresponding game to tie the toys to.
I think Nintendo would even just basically release the game with some characters/stages missing if need be, and then add those in later as free DLC if it really gets to be a desperate situation.
You're better off shipping the game with a smaller roster and maybe even (gulp) a few bugs that you can fix later than have it miss the holidays entirely and then probably have to delay the amiibo toy launch too because Sakurai couldn't get Jigglypoo or whatever properly balanced in time for release.
That game must ship for November.
