Nintendo Spain is informed just a couple of days in advance about things like E3 announcements, Nintendo Directs and new console models like 3DS XL or New 3DS. For example, they knew what it was going to be announced at E3 2014 only a few of hours before the event started.

Obviously, Nintendo Europe and America are much important branches than Nintendo Spain, but you can get an idea about how Nintendo Japan works in this regard.

A sub branch of a sub branch is going to be far more in the dark.  And Nintendo Spain doesn't deal with filing trademarks, copyrights, applying for electrical certifications and device marks, preparing 3rd parties (Massive would work with NoE, not NCL), preparing distribution, etc...on the level, or at all, that NoE does. 

If NX is a 2016 device, it is not possible that NoE and NoA are not well informed about the device already.  They have to know before developers and publishers know.  Could you imagine Massive calling up NoE and asking them about questions about the SDK, the user interface, how the eShop works in game, how do they enable feature whatever, or something technical and NoE saying they don't know anything about it?   This whole premise that NoE and NoA doesn't know is silly.

I actually believe they don't know anything. It would explain their poor marketing for the Wii U.
