Nintendo has been throwing everything at the wall just to see what sticks. When the Wii took off they were convinced that all people wanted was "new" and "innovative" video games. the newest 3D mario was just a gimmick, the newest animal crossing was a gimmick, the newest metroid will be a gimmick, mario party 9 and 10 were gimmicks, amiibos were gimmicks... etc... they had a huge audience to aim at but aimed at everyone else who wasnt interested.
im willing to bet money that the reason Zelda U is being delayed so much is that they were planning a gimmicky new zelda game but halfway through realized that they had gone too far. so they went back to the drawing board to make it more conventional.
and just to prove a point- look at Splatoon- probably the least gimmicky and most outstanding games on the Wii U. they started with an idea and let it evolve into a brand new, amazing game that game new light to a tired genre. they need to start doing that more and less of taking established franchises and mucking them all up.
