They put 'TBD' behind it the moment Aonuma announced the delay, it's been this way for months already in multiple financial reports. It's funny how every outlet only now notices this, shows how much they're paying attention.

Anyway nobody should expect this game before holiday (november) 2016.

*citation needed* The delay was only announced back in late March (literally the end of March), so your multiple financial reports should be interesting to see.

Yes, technically it was "2015" in the three financial reports between these two, but this is multiple financial reports in which it was listed as TBD, including the most recent one prior to the one we're discussing now.

Which means it's only the May report for the previous fiscal year that lists it prior to the July statement. The other one is completely irrelevant by the fact alone that you mention it was 2015 in the time between. I'll acnowledge that people may not have combed the reports well enough if this took nearly three months and a new report to really notice, or maybe people just thought that, by this point, they would have had a better idea of a release date. I may find it almost more concerning that it's now August 2015 and a game that was originally slated for a Holiday 2015 release is now in some kind of announcement limbo that Nintendo refuses to publicly touch on.
