Nintendo never blatantly said 2016, true, but please give the official delay announcement another watch: https://youtu.be/7y1VKSVeGD0
He says that they don't want to try to meet a certain time window, sure, but he never says "we have absolutely no idea when it will be done". He is just certain enough that it won't release in 2015 that he explicitly states it won't release in 2015. This implies that they thought the game could be done this year just last December. That doesn't bring to mind the idea that they can't be absolutely certain that a 2016 release date is going to happen though. Clearly development is far enough along that they could commit to at least a full year release window.
Even then, a 2016 release window is incredibly ambigious. Even if the game released December 31st, 2016, they would still have met that window. It doesn't make sense that they're acting like the game is still some big mystery like this.
