Not surprising at all if it's true. At least one Nintendo game gets delayed a year, and a game that requires extensive translation could be one of those games. As soon as Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was announced, I figured it was not likely to arrive in 2017.
Super Mario Odyssey might get delayed to November (maybe even December) instead of October 27.
