doubtful, for the SNES mini to be clearly done, have it's packaging finished, etc.- all by the middle of 2017 (if not earlier), it suggests they had the idea to release it in 2017 in the pipeline quite a bit ago.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo was being somewhat genuine about their holiday NES Classic strict plans. They may have originally had a couple year domino strategy of doing 'classic' holiday releases to build hype. NES Classic 2016, SNES Classic 2017, N64 Classic 2018 (?), with an overall initiative and goal to build on nostalgic reminder on the market to potentially push more people to eventually buy stuff on the E shop.
At least that's what I guess the tactic is for. Otherwise I don't think they would do temporary holiday releases of these 'classic' systems. It has to be a move to maintain focus on their nostalgic games in buildup for another E shop/ Virtual console system
