Falls in line with my prediction. They have lied about Zelda a lot of times, so no surprise if they planned this since E3 2014 or before with those abysmal Wii U sales.
They promised us we won't have to wait until the Wii release to play Twilight Princess on GameCube, and we know how that ended...
I agree with you OP. And I wouldn't even be surprised if next year they do a PR where they explain why the Wii U was not capable of their "vision" and had to move entirely to the successor. Nintendo likes to lie a lot.
