Because they didn't read it.
DT is everyone's favorite punching bag, and often when you try to honestly convey what's really promising about the game, you just get lots of posts like "looks like shit. rofl can't believe Nintendo fans would buy this". So you need some satire to draw someone's attention in only to make them go "Wait, there's something more here". Once you see that, you can see there's a genuine shot at this game actually blowing everyone away. I'm serious.
I'd rather have a developer totally nail the gameplay first and improve the graphics later. That would seem to be something of the methodology Nintendo would typically favor. As opposed to what likely occurred with Killzone where you make a really pretty game and polish the gameplay later on.
I don't think Nintendo's internal teams are so careless to adopt a new project if it couldn't possibly live up to the high quality standards Nintendo typically sets. Itagaki's track record (Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive) is just too good to just presume the game will be terrible. Also consider Danny Bilson's (The THQ exec who initiated the project) high praise, expectations, ambitions for the title.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
