What's the point of showing game footage a year before the game's launch? They hyped everyone at TGA14 but in the end they didn't profit from them. At E3 Nintendo said they want to focus more on games which releases are closer. That's what they're doing with Zelda Wii U. It's a waste of money to promote that game that early. People will forget what they've seen and you have to show them even more later that it wasn't completely useless. In the end they would show too much from the game. And people won't have a "Wow" effect then.

They promoted Twilight Princess early and that didn't prevent to become one of the biggest Zelda games with amazing sales. Most hyped Zelda ever. So no, it is actually the other way around as the hype for Zelda HD has being go down as time passes and they don't show anything.

Originally Twilight Princess was planned for 2005. Just like Zelda Wii U was planned for 2015. That's why they promoted it at E3 2014 and TGA14. After the delay they realized that it doesn't make sense to show this game anymore because there's a risk to show too much.
