Well I'm loving that artstyle, and the it just seems like it will be amazing *__* I imagine it may turn out to be New 3DS exclusive, as a showcase of its power, though it will probably get downgraded a bit. It being on NX is something I can't see happening, since Ninty usually releases a new console the year after reveal, so the earliest the NX is releasing is 2017. So the game will either see a downgrade or New 3DS is stronger than what we believe.

Or neither. There's no reason Nintendo has to abide by some arbitrary announcement tradition. They can, and likely will, reveal and release it in the same year, which is next year.

But there is also no reason for Nintendo to release it next year, the New 3DS is there to maintain the 3DS family for a little while more, and in the same way there is no reason for them to break the tradition, Nintendo consoles have released either 2 years after reveal(pre-GC) or 1 year after reveal(GC and onwards).

And who knows Ninty may pull a Wii on us, and tease it in next year's E3, properly reveal it at the following E3, and release it the next year's holidays.  

But whatever the case, no way the NX is coming out next year, there is no reason for it, the New 3DS is keeping the 3DS line afloat for a little while more, and the Wii U still has some energy left on it, the earlierst NX could release is 2017.
