I think the fact that we haven't heard anything from them for this long, tells me one thing.
Whatever it is they're working on, a new DK game, a new Metroid, taking on another Nintendo franchise, or making their own new original IP, whatever it is they're doing.
It'll be either NX launch or Year 1. And they're being hush-hush about it because Nintendo is making them remain hush-hush because they don't want anything said about NX until they say it themselves.
