It released in Japan that week :p

I wonder why it took them so long to release it there.

Well Mario + Rabbids released around the same time as Monster Hunter XX and Dragon Quest 10 did in Japan, so I could see that being one factor of delaying it. Jan would have been completely barren for Japan if they didn't delay it. Because Lost Sphear also got released awhile ago there, whereas in the west we got Lost Sphear in Jan. 

 

Just one factor probably.
